“Not merely a nation but a nation of nations.” – Lyndon B. Johnson
Whether we travel the United States for work, soccer or family vacation, we’ve been lucky to see some amazing areas of the United States. Our country is so beautiful and there’s so much to experience. Come along for some of our adventures!
“It’s always on the way.” That’s what the greeter at the Pioneer Woman’s set (her lodge!) told me about Pawhuska, Oklahoma. “It doesn’t matter where you’re traveling to; people always tell me that it’s on the way,” he chuckled. And isn’t that the case with your...
If you're traveling to Tulsa, I'd recommend a side trip 57 miles to the northwest, landing you in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. Pawhuska is just a dot on the Oklahoma landscape but rich with history, both old and new. It's most famously known now as the place where Ree Drummond...
Guess what I’m doing this week. Taking a vacation (YAY) but we aren’t going anywhere (BOO), thank you COVID-19. It’s not awful, I mean DFW is a pretty fabulous place to live and lots of people come here to visit, so I can actually pretend to be a tourist and take a...
Have you ever stayed in a haunted hotel? You’d know if you had. There’s definitely a certain vibe you get when you enter – the energy just feels different. I recently stayed in my fifth haunted hotel and while I didn’t know until after I had checked out, (when someone...

Sometimes we take the speed dating approach to travel. Being so close to Santa Fe while we were visiting in Colorado was literally just too much to bear. The hubs had never been and it had been eons since I had visited this Southwestern gem. A quick 5ish hour drive...
Our Spring Break adventure, started in a GMC Acadia with no real schedule. We headed to Colorado and after a few days in Littleton and a day trip to Estes Park, we were bitten by wanderlust to check out another of Colorado’s mountain towns. Setting our sites on...
For Chez Perot, no trip to Colorado is complete without a day or more in Estes Park. A long time favorite for us in both summertime and winter, I have lost count of the number of visits I have under my belt but I do know that it’s not enough. Over Spring Break this...
Spring Break 2015. Armed with a luxurious GMC Acadia Denali, complete with all the newest features and compliments of @DistrictDrive, Chez Perot packed our bags and we headed west with schedule unknown. With a week on the clock and only the road before us, our first...
