Perry’s Steakhouse
The one thing I love about living in a big city is all the choices of dining you have. Once a year the month of August turns into Restaurant Weeks. One of the best ways to try new restaurants is dining out during this month! For a set price of $35 for dinner you get...
Austin, Texas – Day 3
Today was our last day in Austin, Texas. We had done a lot, but we had one last grand thing to visit. The Texas State Capitol. They offer free tours every 15-30 minutes which last about 30-45 minutes or you can pick up a self guided sheet and walk where you...
Austin, Texas – Day 2
Today was our day of inside activities and try to get a refresher course on Texas History. We tried not to have too big of a breakfast at the hotel so we could sneak in some more food stops I wanted to try. First stop of the day was a drive out to Lady Bird Johnson...
Austin, Texas – Day 1
Austin is a city I really love, it’s close to home, yet feels like another world. It’s filled with culture, history and great food. I usually like booking historic hotel and not chain ones, but for the first night I had to opt for Hampton Inn to be in the area we...
Nagoya
We love Nagoya Japanese Restaurant as well as our friends whom we where celebrating a recent college graduation with. We’ve been here before click HERE for my post. This time we had the Bunny Roll $13.95 (shrimp, lobster, crab meat) All I can say is wow! Oh I loved...
Chuy’s
We’ve always been a fan of Chuy’s, but haven’t been in years. Since we where in the area we decided to grab lunch and it was one of the best decisions we made for the day! The inside is like a maze to get to our table, but I still loved the atmosphere and that we...
Yao Restaurant and Bar
Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets opened up a restaurant in Houston called Yao Restaurant and Bar. We haven’t been there yet because when it comes to Chinese restaurants in Houston there are dozens to choose from. Not long ago there was a groupon deal which helped us...
Collina’s Italian Cafe
My mother in law invited us out to dinner to celebrate our anniversary and I was excited about trying a new place. We headed to Collina’s Italian Café which has 3 locations in Houston, we went to the Memorial location. This place has several awards from Houston...
Iowa – Day 2
This morning started off a little rough with rain in the forecast. We headed off as a group for breakfast at Baby Boomers Café. This cute little café hit the big time when they became known for Obama’s family and staffs favorite cookies. The inside is nicely done with...
Iowa – Day 1
Our flight arrived late a little after 5pm and I was excited about being back in Iowa. I had missed all my new blogging friends as well as the farmers and and everyone I had met. Our hotel reservations where at the Downtown Des Moines Marriott. (Photo from Marriott...
The Capital Grille
Houston has several upscale places to chose when it comes to steak. We had never been to The Capital Grille, but I had always heard good things about it. The parking lot is small and they offer complimentary valet parking. If you like to park your own car I recommend...
Steak ‘n Shake
We recently got some coupons in the mail for the local Steak ‘n Shake restaurant and decided to give them a try. We really where not sure what to expect when we walked in. I though it was going to be an order at the counter type of place, but instead they seat you....
