We made the short drive from Lakewood to Golden, Colorado and we’re SO glad we did. We simply loved the town. If you’re like me…and you like BEER…the first thing you probably think of in Golden Colorado is COORS Beer, brewed with that “pure, Rocky Mountain spring water”. And the first thing we saw as […]
Simms Steakhouse – Golden, Colorado
After a successful day of door replacements, Sis Patricia decided we ALL needed a break. (It’s very tiring to watch someone else work, and I’ve had lots of experience watching my Hubby…since he never stops working!) So off we went to a nearby restaurant with an AWESOME view of downtown Denver… The hike from the […]
Teller’s Tap Room And Kitchen – Lakewood, Colorado
I’m always amazed at how close to Denver you must drive before the mountains come into view, and I think it was about 30 miles from Denver when the faint outline of those majestic peaks appeared. Our First Glimpse… And after surviving our trek across Nebraska, we both breathed a sigh of relief when we […]
Ole’s Big Game Steakhouse – Paxton, Nebraska
Nebraska has some wide open spaces. Really wide open. And if you get hungry, you might have to put your growling stomach on hold while you search for a place to eat. Any place. And I mean ANY place. We were beginning to think breakfast might become lunch if we didn’t find a place soon. […]
Howard Johnson – Gothenburg, Nebraska
We booked our hotel room using Reward miles, but when Hubby went to check in he was told they didn’t have any rooms available…even though the miles had already been deducted from our card. So after some discussion the hotel clerk said she DID have ONE room available, and she would let us have it. […]
Duncan’s Cafe – Council Bluffs, Iowa
There is nothing quite like a LONG road trip. And we are embarking on an epic adventure… Our trip will take us all the way to Oregon, with some awesome stops along the way. So sit back…fasten your seat belts and LET’S GO! First stop…Council Bluffs, Iowa. And of course this stop was just […]
West Side Diner – Atlantic, Iowa
Last Saturday, we traveled with friends Marty and Cindy to Atlantic, Iowa. We made the three hour trip to pay our respects to Mr. Henry Clay Belcher, Jr. “Pocka” as he was affectionately known to us, was the father of Pam and Doug who have been our friends for the past forty years. And their […]
Tequila Grill – Kalona, Iowa
Recently I met a friend for lunch in Kalona. We met at Tequila Grill on Main Street. It was a beautiful day, so we sat outside on their porch to enjoy our lunch. (We forgot that the horse and buggy traffic might attract flies to the outside dining, so we learned quickly to eat with […]
Boozie’s Bar and Grill – Davenport, Iowa
We love a ROAD TRIP…and we especially love one that allows us to enjoy both family fun and some time to explore the area on our own. We did that this weekend when we drove about an hour from Iowa City to the area known as the Quad Cities. First, Ignore the QUAD part. There […]
El Bandito’s – Iowa City, Iowa
Mexican food for breakfast? Yup. We stepped outside our comfort zone and tried something different for our Sunday morning breakfast after church in Iowa City…El Bandito’s Restaurant. It was a beautiful morning, and the place was PACKED…(always a GOOD sign!) both inside and outside on their cute curbside patio. […]
