Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa in Destin, Florida A few weeks ago, Emma and I began a vacation of a lifetime together.

I had accepted the fact … [Read more...]

by 14 Comments
Branson Missouri | The Track Family Fun Parks Vacation. We had good intentions to take a family trip but with six people in the house our schedules wouldn’t cooperate. We had settled for a quick family staycation... but then a last minute schedule cancellation gave us a window for a quick road trip. I grew up spending most of my summers at my grandma’s house.

As I was unable to attend the conference because of prior commitments, my husband Jason graciously took my place so that Joshua could attend.

Interview with Cobie Smulders aka Maria Hill I have been a long time How I Met Your Mother fan with Cobie’s character being my favorite tied with Neil Patrick Harris.

Saturday was an amazing experience I will never forget.
