Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Well since I showed you wedding pictures...let's talk about the honeymoon!

We went to The Majestic Elegance in Punta Cana, DR for a week. We stayed in the VIP area and it was amazing! We had a butler and there was a new bottle of wine/champagne and a late night treat every night in our room waiting for us when we got back. The beaches were incredible and the locals were so much fun! The room service was included as well as all meals and alocholic beverages. It was the most amazing, relaxing week we could ask for!

We just love beachy vacations!

We did go parasailing, a boat tour, and extensive snorkeling on top of hanging out at the resort.

Anyone planning a trip to the beach this summer?

Vegas, BaBy!

Ohhhh Vegas, what a crazy place you are. It truly is the city that never sleeps. Tyler and I went last year for my birthday and we had a fabulous time! Whenever we were in college, we used to go to Lake Charles after class because it was around only a 2 hour drive. We would hit up some of their casinos and just have a grand 'ole time. With that being said, I was really looking forward to our trip to Vegas to see the "real" casinos. We stayed at Planet Hollywood on the strip for 5 days. Everyone thought we were wackos for staying that long but we really like to get out and explore every place we visit. There was not one casino that we didn't at least pop in (for the free booze, of course!). Okay maybe there was one or two off the strip, but who's counting?

We almost missed our flight...you know...the people running through the airport rushing to make it to the plane...that was us. The line at security was quite long so it wasn't even our fault. BUT, we made it! Except one small little teeny tiny detail, we had to sit separately. Ugh. Luckily we were only a row apart, but still. It made for some funny laughs!

We loooved Planet Hollywood! They had the best music and the Pleasure Pit was definitely a site to see! Even though we explored all the other casinos, we had the most fun at ours.

Every room is unique with a movie theme...get it...Planet HOLLYWOOD...ours was "Little Buddha". I guess that's better than having "Saw" or "The Ring".

You know you have finally made it to Vegas when...

You find a Statue of Liberty made out of jelly beans.

You get to hang out with Roman gods.

You are walking around in the streets in the wee hours of the morning with two alcoholic beverages in your hands.



You find yourself in front of a castle at 4am and realize you haven't gone to bed yet.

New York City is behind you and it appears to be quite clean.

The Eiffel Tower is in the distance.

...And you see a Transformer in real life.

But that's all the details I can give because...

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!

Anyone planning a trip to Vegas this year?

Let's talk...Wineries!

Tyler and I love to travel to wineries all over Texas. If you are a Texan and have never heard of the Texas Winery Passport, you definitely need to check it out! Everytime you visit a participating winery, you get a stamp in your passport and once it is full, you can mail it in for free gifts. It's a fun little adventure for couples or friends. We always meet great people and have delicious wine while walking through the gorgeous vineyards.

We went to Fredericksburg for our anniversary last September and stayed in a wonderful B&B cabin. There are so many wineries in the area to travel to and we even followed a "wine trail" while we there. I would highly recommend a weekend trip to the city of Fredericksburg.

There are so many unique wineries to visit while in Fredericksburg! We enjoyed the Chisholm Trail because it was a little off the main road and we were able to play checkers while we enjoyed our wine...

There were many stops along the way...

And we had such a relaxing anniversary weekend!

Cheers to all my winos! :)
