Sitting Pretty!

These red hand chairs were part of the decor of our modern hotel!

A great friend and a kid-free weekend in Palm Springs!

Thank you so much to my husband and his mother for watching the kids.  I felt so refreshed, relaxed and ready to tackle the world after my weekend away. It's been over a week and I'm still feeling good. I hope to make taking a break with a friend a yearly tradition!!

Relaxing after a busy day of fun!

I like the one about the Big Red Dog!

I am always a big fan of kid's reading.  It was a real treat for my kids to have one of their older cousins read stories to them over our vacation.  They loved it and even the dog got in on the act!

Read more Silly Monkey Stories.

Howdy Pardner!

The kids had a great vacation with their cousins.  The last stop Sunday, was a visit to "the town too tough to die" Tombstone, AZ. 

Rowdy bunch of outlaws!

Dressing up at Big Nose Kates an Old Wild West Tavern

Is there a sheriff in this town?

Truly a Historical American Landmark, Tombstone is America's best example of our 1880 western heritage, which is well preserved with original 1880's buildings and artifacts featured in numerous museums.

The kids love to see the horses and carriages, watch gun fights, and most of all shop for souvenirs! It has been a yearly tradition to visit for the past three or four years. A good time was had by all!
