Costa Del Sol

Costa Del Sol may be summed up in three words: SUN, SAND, and SEA. We splashed in the Mediterranean Sea and picked up a few shells to add to our collection from our travels. How do you tell a European sun bather from an American?  Answer: Europeans where Speedos.

Indulgence in Park City

After dining at Cafe Tarigo in Park City, anchorman, Charlie Gibson, said "Cafe Tarigo has the best bread pudding in the world." I whole heartily agree after savoring this dish!! It was unbelievably good!

Well, I feel a little guilty about the indulgent Mother's Day Retreat I went on with my Mother and oldest daughter (who is not a mother). We had massages at the Hotel Park City spa, ate at Ruth's Chris Steak House, and highly acclaimed Cafe Tarigo. We gazed at stars while relaxing in our private outdoor hot tub. We laughed, ate, and indulged. Thanks to my dad and husband for "footing the bill!"

San Antonio, Texas 2009

My husband and I spent four days in San Antonio, Texas. We stayed at the Grand Hyatt along with the Dallas Cowboys Professional Football Team. The cowboys were in pre-season training, staying at the Hyatt and practicing in the Alamodome. We were not there as football "groupies" though there were many there that were. This was an awards trip earned by my husband, Joe. He's an investment adviser and works for Mass Mutual.Way to go hon!

We walked up and down the River Walk, went to two IMAX theater movies, The Alamo and Under the Sea 3-D, strolled around the city, and even went to the Alamodome to watch the Dallas Cowboys practice. But the most thought provoking and interesting thing we did was visit The Alamo. If you've never seen the 2004 version of the movie The Alamo starring Billy Bob Thorton and Dennis Quaid, it's time to send for it with NETFLIX. It is a quick history lesson regarding the stirring, epic events that happened at The Alamo in 1837. "Remember The Alamo!"
