The Marina Restaurant, Brattleboro VT




With the help of Lynn from Crosby House, I discovered an excellent restaurant with a gorgeous view and fabulous food!!!!!  From the   seemingly good choices that Lynn gave me and with my propensity for the ocean, I decided The Marina was the restaurant to try and I was definitely not disappointed with the choice I made.

Just being seated, I could sit back, relax and enjoy the view.  And the food, I chose a cajun chicken with jalapeno peppers.  Very good.  I also have to mention there were certainly, if not the entire menu, had a lot of wonderful options.  Lastly, but certainly not the least,is the Maple Walnut pie, that I had for dessert.  I think I would drive all the way to Brattleboro for this dessert.!

Crosby house grounds


From these pictures, I think you can see how beautiful and relaxing the Crosby's House grounds are to sit and contemplate or just to walk around and enjoy how truly amazing nature really is.  There are trails that one can discover behind the house.  Lynn has maps so one will not become lost!

1868 Crosby House, Brattleboro VT



As my stay at Crosby House was short, it was very sweet.  I have to say Lynn is one of the most gracious B&B hostess that I have had the privilege to stay with.
Her breakfast was absolutely delicious!!  Also, in the morning, the b&b will deliver juice, coffee or tea to your room.  So nice!
But I am getting ahead of myself.  Upon arrival, Lynn gave me a detailed tour of the house and all of the amenities that I was invited to utilize during my stay.  The above picture was the gorgeous room that I stayed in complete with a gas fireplace and a marvelous two head shower in the bathroom.  More pictures of the Crosby house inside to come at a later date.

Zion National Park, Utah


I mentioned Zion National Park in one of my previous post as it is 40 minutes North of St. George Utah, where I was visiting friends.

I thought I would share a picture of it with you that I received from the internet.

As I may have said in one of my previous post, I have visited and camped out with my Utah friends  in Zion National Park in the early nineties.  I can honestly say it is as beautiful as this picture.

This is my favorite National Park in the West.  Okay, it is the only National Park that I have visited in the West, but that doesn't take away from its beauty.

My all time favorite National Park can be found in my June archives, Acadia National Park.  Check it out and see the beauty in both!

Siena Golf Club





As I said Tom & I were in Vegas for a special someone's wedding.  She would be the beautiful bride, Ashley.

I am sorry I do not have more pictures of the wedding but I hope to at a later date.  Yes, I will show the pictures and indulge myself a little plus I think (including myself) everyone loves to view wedding pictures!

Las Vegas Strip


 The top picture as you can see is Harrah's in Vegas.  The second picture is the Las Vegas Strip at night.
 I am sure you can all guess that the above picture are the doors going into the Hard Rock Cafe in Vegas!
The above picture is the Mirage Hotel!

The above picture is the Trump Towers!
Unfortunately, as time was short, I did not get to go with Tom for his adventure onto the strip.  But that's okay as I was in Vegas for a much more important reason which was to attend a very special wedding who is very important to me!
