Our Colorado Trip....

 For those of you that knows me here in the blogs knew exactly how I'd like to see Colorado. Ever since 2007 the first state in the US that intrigue me the most is Co. I have seen it so many times in the movie, and I am mesmerized by it's beauty and also another reason is that something very personal.Let's not talk about it.

Finally October of 2020 the husband and I packed our bags and head north to Colorado to see the picturesque beauty of the Rockies. On the way there, I was totally shocked how different their landscape in comparison to the daily normal that I see in the south.  Some a little similar in some ways but the big picture is totally opposite. In the south we have so many trees and going north you can see nothing but an empty space filled with nothing, There's a little dry grass here and there. It was so dusty and windy that you can see tumble weeds all over the places,. Husband and I stop at one point to pick up a piece of tumble weed. ha. ha! We always see it in Matt Dillons show (Gun Smoke) so we were curious exactly what it felt to touch it with our own hands.

As we were driving, We saw a lot of windmills. That was the first time I saw such thing and I didn't realize how big they were. Husband park his truck close to one of the Windmill and we took a few photos. It was so cool to see it in person, and there were thousands of them along the hi-way. Then on our last day we plan to shot some prairie dogs in one of the town in Colorado. It is legal to shot prairie dogs in private land. Farmers allow you to let you do it in their ranch you just have to ask permission to the owner. Prairie dogs are nuisance to some of the ranchers because they make hole on the ground, and cows or horses may accidentally step on it and break their legs, that is the reason why some ranchers let you get in their property and shot as many as you can. But anyhow, that was so much fun. 

That is one of husband's and I memorable trip together. We see and experience a lot of first together. Questions if I would like to go back to Colorado and explore some more? Probably not in the near future. I would love to see Wyoming next and Idaho and Oregon. . But for sure our Colorado trip was one for the books.

Bonnie and Clyde Monument

Yesterday 12.17.2016 the husband and I checked out Bonnie and Clyde Trade deals hoping to find great haul for my garden. I really wanted an Angel in my garden or something beautiful to display outside. We were able to buy a beautiful Flamingo, but their Angel is sold out. 
Also on the way home we stopped by Bonnie and Clyde's monument. This place is very significant because these is where Bonnie and Clyde were ambushed. Two of the most wanted Criminal in the United States. The husband and I are a sucker of History, Museums and Small town so whenever we get a chance to travel anywhere, we always look for museums and we love staying at a forgotten town.

Toledo Bend-Texas side

Hubby and I went on an unexpected road trip last Sunday. It was not our intention to hit the road  but because we were bored and hungry we ended up going to a restaurant at the boarder of Louisiana and Texas. True! We love food and we go out of our way just to find something different.

We cross Toledo bend bridge And oh boy! that bridge was long and beautiful. Not to mention the water is a little higher than normal (I was eve-dropping while the husband and friend were talking).

Here's some of the Photos from that short trip.


Of course! The husband and I...
And me . Me!

Six Flags Over Texas Adventure....

We celebrate my Birthday and 2015's Father's day in Texas. Hubby and I, together with our little grandson drove 4 hours From Shreveport Louisiana to Arlington Texas. It is one of the most visited City. It is located east of forth-worth and probably 20 miles west of Dallas.

Hubby enjoyed the place as much as his little grandson and me did. He said it brings back memories of his childhood. We hop-in so many water slides, and ended up soaking wet every-time. The power of Mr. Sun didn't torture us though. Clouds cover the sky and the  breeze every once in a while helps alleviate the little humid temperature of that day. Plus, there's a lot of electric fan all over the place and that makes it more-comfortable in strolling around the park.

We did not ride the gigantic rides, the scary and extreme ones. We prefer the more child rides because of the little man. He is so scared to experience extremes, and whines a little about it. LOL! But the good news is.. Me and Hubby will do it again next time, and by then we hope to experience those extreme roller coaster rides. Texas giants, Superman and so many others. I hope I will not get heart attack when it happens. hahha!

Here's some of the photos I took. No pictures for me. I'd rather wanna be at the back of my lens this time.  Probably I grow old from taking pictures of myself already. :D







HAPPY GRANDFATHER'S DAY TO THE MOST RESPONSIBLE AND THE SWEETIES PERSON I'VE EVER MEET. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH  HUSBAND. AND I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL OF THE LOVE YOU SHARED NOT JUST ON ME BUT TO THE WHOLE FAMILY. YOUR AWESOME!!!

Florida Adventure Part1

I created this post 2 days ago but for some reason my computer freezes and every words I utter was being deleted. Of course I was pissed so I decided to log off and redo maybe later which is today. LOL!

Anyhow to make the story short. Me the husband his Daughter C and Grandson T hit the road last June 20 for our road trip to Disney, Universal Studio and the the beach (Destine).
It was one fun and memorable week for all of us. Disney world did not impress me very much thought. It's not like what you see in TV where all the Princesses and Mickey mouse just walk around and you can snap a photo with them. The fireworks and the show before the night ends is the one that is memorable.  Here's some of the photos I took during the trip
Side view of Cinderellas fancy castle.
Jurassic Park ride where my jaw drop coz I'm a Chicken.. LOl!

We stayed here for 4 nights&5days.
Tuff in front of the famous castle in Disney world
The best water ride ever @ Universal Studi
