My Favorite Ballpark

Last week, we made our annual summer trip to Houston. This trip always includes good food and a few Astros baseball games at Minute Maid Park.

Viva Las Vegas!

I spent all of last week in Las Vegas.  I returned home very tired, with a little less cash and a lot of great memories. We went to a few shows, with Love at the Mirage being the best.  Cirque du Soleil celebrates the music of the Beatles using the master tapes of the Abbey Road sessions.  The performance is colorful, energetic and graceful.  Everyone in my group (even non-Beatles fans) totally enjoyed Love. We saw a couple of good comedy shows.

Every December, my brother-in-law Scott, nephew Matt and I take a trip to Houston for a Houston Texans football game. They lived in Houston for several years and like to return a couple times a year. I enjoy the trips, especially when escaping a Chicago winter.

I spent this last weekend in Houston, TX, one of my favorite cities. I had some work to do, but I also got to spend time with my nephew, Matt, and brother-in-law, Scott, who made the trip with me.
