Wordless Wednesday at the Royal Air Force Musuem - 01/18/12 12:57 PM

 

 
        This photo was taken in London, England at the Royal Air Force Museum. This is a very interesting museum a bit out of the way but definitely a must see. There are many different kinds of planes. I learned a great deal about the role Poland played in World War II that really was not talked about too much because of politics at the time.
        I did get my “ahaha” moment on the trip at this museum. There were 2 little boys about 6 or 7 looking at the pictures of the twin towers … (8 comments)

Beware of Shopping at Tommy Bahama's Outlets - 01/17/12 10:25 AM
 
 
        I bought my husband a watch from Tommy Bahamas Outlet in Katy Mills Mall for Christmas as he desperately needed one. I asked the salesperson if I could return if he did not like and he said no because they only do exchanges I said ok. My husband wore the watch for 2 weeks and it stopped working. So he took it back to Tommy Bahamas and told them the story. They said they could exchange it oh and did I mention the only watch they had was $300 more than I paid.

Wordless Wednesday on Alcatraz Island - 01/04/12 08:34 AM

 
 
 
This photo was taken on a Harbor Cruise on San Francisco Bay in California. Alcatraz Island to me is one of the most intriguing places in the United States. Many years ago my family and I took a tour of Alcatraz. We could not have had better ambience it was cold, foggy, rainy and getting dark as it was the last tour of the day. My boys were little and just clung to me. I highly suggest visiting if you are in the area book early as the tours do book up fast!

Speechless Sunday Happy New Year - 01/01/12 11:23 AM

 
 
This photo was taken in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Bellagio Hotel Lobby. I love walking through the Bellagio it is so beautiful. We were there on the 4th of July so the Bald Eagle the Symbol of America is so appropriate.
      Somebody in Active Rain wrote about the American Eagle and how it came dangerously close to not being the American Symbol. .
      Some people say that Benjamin Franklin opposed the Bald Eagle as the symbol for the United States others state that he just did want the organization that was heading that campaign to … (11 comments)
