Living out loud in the Carolinas

  • While we were in Valle Crucis with CSP’s mom (MIL) it rained 90% of the time.  As soon as it cleared up for a couple hours we jumped at the chance to take the pugs to the park.  The park in Valle Crucis is CSP’s & my favorite place in the world.  It’s just gorgeous.…

  • CSP’s Mom’s (MIL) birthday was September 18.  We had planned on being in the mountains for the week so we invited her along.  She was really excited to get away from work and get some mountain pug love!  MIL & I are both interested in old churches so I made sure to take her to…

  • Recently a friend of mine told me “You’re always on vacation!”  Which isn’t entirely true.  But, vacation & travel rank very high on our list of things we like to spend our money on. There are tons of things we have to spend our money on.  So when we have any left over we are…

  • While we were in Vegas last month my Blackberry Curve died a terrible death.  It was only 14 months old!  I had plugged it in and gone to bed. I woke up in the middle of the night and picked it up to use it as a night light to get me to the restroom.…

  • One of the things we were most looking forward to on this last trip to Vegas was seeing all the new hotels that were built since our last trip. We were especially wanting to see the Wynn & Palazzo. They did not disappoint.  **photos after the jump. click to enlarge**

  • When we went to Las Vegas for our honeymoon in March 2001, we stayed at the Paris.  We loved it.  It was our first time in Vegas and the Paris was all new and swanky.  For this trip I researched prices on lots of hotels on the strip but coincidentally got the best rate (in…

  • There are so many restaurant choices in Las Vegas, it’s enough to make your head spin.  We only made one reservation for dinner before we arrived in Vegas.  We had three other places in mind where we knew we wanted to eat.  Other than that we winged it.  To keep budget friendly we ate a…

  • Contrary to popular belief, there is WAY more to do in Vegas beyond gambling, boozing, hookers, & getting whacked by the mob. **Warning- lots of photos after the jump**

  • I’m finally ready and able to tell you all about our Vegas trip! For those who haven’t been, GO!!! So many people say “well I don’t gamble, so what would I do?”. There’s SO MUCH more to do in Vegas besides gambling! Instead of a play by play, day by day, trip report, I decided…

  • We’re home!  We had a fabulous time and all the updates are coming soon.  Right now though I’m dealing with a couple of health issues that popped up in Vegas.  One is  pretty scary (and strange).  A full day of doctor appointments on Wednesday will hopefully take care of this. Thank you all for my…
