  • Vacation Day 14: Leaving for Las Vegas

    Yes, Rich did happen to wake up today. Breakfast was at the IHOP attached to the hotel.  Rich had a bad experience at an IHOP a long time ago, but it was the only thing close by.  I had stuffed French toast, Rick had a bacon omelet, and Rich went for an omelet as well. […]

  • Vacation Day 7: Walking the Golden Gate Bridge

    Yep, Rich woke up yet again today! Today was the first real 60 degree weather since the second day of our trip.  The sun was shining down and the wind wasn’t quite so bad today.  The plan for today was to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge.  Well, at least halfway across.  Everyone else was […]

  • Vacation Day 5: Onward to Lake Tahoe

    Rich reminded me that he woke up this morning.  It was going to be a good day. This morning, we started off on another leg of the adventure called the Zurek Family Vacation.  Today, we were heading into Lake Tahoe to look around and then to Placerville for a visit with Rich’s Aunt Fran and […]

  • Vacation Day 3: WTFwith the WiFi?

    Sorry about not getting my post for Day 3 up.  The hotel in Park City, UT had a horrible connection.  Rich got his newspaper loaded on his Nook by standing in the doorway of the bathroom!  It’s hard to image someone having a WiFi that only has one bar of strength. Leaving Cheyenne was cold […]

  • Vacation Day 2: Long and Winding Road

    Day 2 is another driving adventure.  We drove from Council Bluffs, IA to Cheyenne, WY.  On Wednesday, the temperature was 92.  Today, we never hit 70!  I hope it gets better. I forgot to mention that Rick continually searches for great root beer.  As Rich is tasting beers at brewpubs across the west, Rick is tasting […]

  • Vacation Day 1: A Humbling Beginning

    Family vacation is here again. After my blogging for the Memphis getaway in January, my Zurek sisters have applied the pressure for me to blog this entire vacation.  Since I now have more than 5 total readers, I should probably attempt to share some of the highlights of our day as we travel, explore, and […]

  • Lazy Sunday around here

    I knew keeping a blog would be hard.  Unless I’m actively planning or doing something, I don’t think that the rest of my life has much to talk about.  So here’s a run down of what’s been happening here. Friday was Rick’s last day of spring break.  We don’t normally go anywhere or do anything […]
