Travels With Stacey

It is not every day that one gets to go to Vegas, but we are, and we will be for the Fourth of July celebration.  This year, the USA turns 250.  We will be spending a few days in this iconic city, taking in as…

The first state we ever visited was New York. The first place we went to see was a tourist area where we gathered every brochure they had for the state. They had a lot. I finally went through them all and added them to my…
