This is a slideshow of when my husband and I went to Las Vegas for a business trip.  Hope you like this slideshow.

Mt. Desert Island, Maine

     If you love to travel, then you should check out Mt. Desert Island in Maine.  It is beautiful and a nice place to go hiking and walking.  When you are there, hike or drive up Cadillac Mountain. Check out the shops.  It is fun.  Here is a slideshow of when I went to Mt. Desert Island and Cadillac Mountain with my mom and two friends.  

Mount Rainier, Washington

      I love to travel.  So when I moved to Washington state in 2009, one of the places that I went to was Mount Rainier, which is not far from where I lived.  I ended up taking my parents and grandmother who was visiting me at the time, also.  We had fun taking in the scenery.  Here is a slide show of the trip.

Log Cabin Village Fort Worth, Texas

      Do you enjoy experiencing the past, if so, the Log Cabin Village in Fort Worth Texas is the place to see.  I love reading and watching documentaries on how people used to live.  Sometimes, I think I was born in the wrong century.  So I really enjoyed going to this village where the workers dress the part.  All the ladies wore old fashioned dresses and did the work that you would find there.  I even dipped candles.  With each cabin, there is information on that specific cabin and the things within the cabin is the person's who used to live there.  Here are some pictures of the village. I hope you like it.

Texas Tulips, Pilot Point, Texas

     

    

Last March, I went to Texas for my cousin's wedding. For the first wedding we focused on getting everything ready for the wedding. The following week, my uncle took time off from work to drive us to the Texas-Tulip in Pilot Point to see the beautiful fields of tulips. When we arrived, we had to pay to get in. It was worth the money to check out the many types and colors of the tulips. Since we arrived towards the end of the season, it was not as colorful or full of tulips as it would have been if we had gone earlier. But I would still recommend seeing this place.

The entrance fee is $3.00 for everyone who visits except children a year old and under, whose fee is free. Texas-Tulip is open 7 days a week from 9am to 8pm. Senior Citizens only pay $7.50 for their fee and to be able to pick 3 tulips only Monday to Friday. Veterans also pay $7.50 for their entrance fee and to pick 3 tulips. Parking is free and you can enjoy their concession stand.

You can pick as many tulips as you want for $2.50 per stem and they even wrap it in pretty paper with flower gel for the stem. For your convenience there are flower baskets available.

There are even picnic tables for you to rest and eat on with public bathrooms. They do have a no dogs allowed on the field rule. But if you have a service dog, then you will need to call them. It is recommended to wear appropriate clothing when picking tulips and walking the field.

With the wind in my hair, I roamed the tulip field taking pictures and video taping what I saw. It was fascinating to learn the different names and kinds of tulips there are in the world. I loved the vibrant colors of each of the tulips. I didn't know that there was so many different kinds. Each of the tulips had an entire row to themselves. This is a great place to take your kids. They will love the idea of picking their own tulips and seeing the field of majestic beauty and color.

Black Hero Tulip

Texas Flame Tulip

Texas-Tulip started two years when a couple and their children came to Texas from Netherlands to make their dream of having a tulip farm come true. Its amazing how this place comes alive in the spring with its vibrant colors and so many different types of tulips. This place really is a must see on your list of activities to do when you are in Texas.

Cracker Barrel in Denton, Texas

      My favorite place in the world is Texas. I have visited many times and lived there for a 

while.  I went to Texas this time for a wedding.  After the wedding, I went to Cracker Barrel in 

Denton Texas.  If you love great food, then this is the place to go.  I had the haddock, okra and 

mashed potatoes and washed it down with water.  It was a great lunch.    After lunch, if you are 

not in a hurry, check out their gift shop.  It is filled with all kinds of great stuff from 

comforters, clothes, accessories and many more to choose.  You won't be disappointed.

exploring the different attractions they had.  Even the food was great.  The Theme Park is great for

all ages.    The people there are great and friendly.
