OK Internet Friends, it is now a rule that every time you visit Las Vegas, you must rent a car for a day trip to Zion National Park. It is only about a two and a half hour drive and the desert drive in Nevada is very scenic. Once you get to Zion National Park, pictures and words cannot describe the beauty of this place.
I had to use my final week of vacation at work or lose the vacation time on January 1st. I searched for a place of interest, and couldn’t beat the prices offered in Las Vegas. My first stop was the Wynn. One of my favorite hang-outs in Vegas.
I am at Gate 9! It’s the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Yay.
This Embassy Suites served me well. I will definitely stay there again when I need to travel to San Antonio.
Via Colori! Please go to this festival if you ever have the opportunity. The streets of the Theater District in Downtown Houston were blocked off and filled with people, sunshine, music, food, drink, and some incredible chalk art. 🙂
The Theater District in Downtown Houston is awesome. I walked around the area today with my head up in the sky admiring the tall building architecture on display.
The Rienzi Gardens in the River Oaks area of Houston are free and open to the public during the operating hours of the Rienzi House Museum. Beware, because the website indicates a 4.4 acre setting, but for some reason, much of it was roped off today. Still, the small part I was allowed to visit was special.
This Embassy Suites is known for its Royal Swans – “Pa” and “Gram”. The hotel is located within a short walk of the Houston Galleria and several restaurants. I had a nice, relaxing weekend there.
I went for a short walk to grab a bite to eat this evening and I think it was raining.
