Discovery Green

Discovery Green is a new park in downtown Houston, Texas. It is surrounded by Toyota Center, where the Rockets play; Minute Maid Park, where the Astros play, and George R. Brown Convention Center. It has been well received and is constantly filled with floks having a good time. This holiday season it is lit up like the las vegas strip, with lights and attractions to promote the holiday spirit, and no doubt to stimulate the economy!

Las Vegas?

Our wedding anniversary is coming up in late March. It will be number forty one. I know I must do something to acknowledge the day, but we just got back from a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean, so I do not have a lot of extra money to spend. Maybe I should just make Las Vegas hotel reservations for that weekend. It is fairly cheap to to fly to Vegas compared to other attractions and you can have a nice time without gambling because of all the shows!

Family Resolution

When the family got together for a big meal and lots of football watching on New Year's Day, someone said that they had never been to Las Vegas. The conversation led to a suggestion that we find a date when we could all go, then pick out a Vegas hotel where we could all stay for a few days. It might be the first time I ever heard of a family making a resolution on New Year's Day. I hope this one does not fall to the wayside like so many resolutions do!

Venetian Hotel

My friend's wife has for years told him she wanted him to take her to Venice for a romantic gondola cruise through the canals. He does not make a lot of money, so a trip to Italy is not very likely. But he just made big points with his wife when he took her for an anniversary trip to Las Vegas. They stayed in the fabulous Venetian hotel. They were able to take that authentic cruise down the Grand Canal as recreated in the Hotel! It was a wonderful and romantic weekend!
