We stayed at the Bellagio Hotel during our last trip to Las Vegas a few years agoand one of the best surprises for mewas the view of the Eiffel Tower from our room!

I've never been to Paris, France...but … (10 comments)

The signs of Spring show up in Pinehurst about a month before the higher elevations of the NC mountain areas. So, when I arrived back home yesterday afternoon, the colors of Spring on display around my yard took my breath away!

Located near the intersection of Old US Hwy 1 and New US Hwy 1 in Southern Pines is one of Moore County's newest lunch/dinner restaurants. The location was the home to a used car lot before Ledo Pizza moved in! I drive by this location often, and I watched as they gutted the building and gave it a shiny new contemporary vibe.
