Clearwater Florida One of American's number one beaches! It is our family favorite beach to date!  We will have a few posts about this adventure, including the hotel we stayed at and why, the places we ate, the excursion we went on and the beach/area of Clearwater Beach.  Let's start with the hotel. We stayed at the Hilton Clearwater Beach Hotel and Spa Clearwater Beach Hilton Hotel & Spa The hotel has been newly renovated and sits right on the beach, with private beach access and just down the street from pier 60. This is the main reason we stayed at this hotel. We were looking for beach access as our number one priority. We truly fancy Marriott hotels, more about that in another post, but this time Hilton had the best beach access and location for our travels.  When you walked downstairs the hotel you come to either the pool on the left or the beach in front of you. The view of the beach is just spectacular, it's picture perfect. You see the b...

This is our first real post about one of our many adventure, and I am not really sure why I picked Montana. It was so pretty and relaxing. We stayed with family on a ranch outside of town. They were in the middle of harvesting, so the boys got to play on and clean the combine. We drove into town just past dinner time. We were coming from Idaho on the I-15 and took HWY 87 toward Great Falls. Now let me tell you, we joke around about this being in the middle of nowhere. I mean come on...we live in DFW... This is the middle of nowhere. Well, it was just past dinner and the boys were so hungry, so we tried to stop for a quick meal. Ha! First of all, there were hardly any exits, lead alone cell phone coverage to map a fast food place. So we just took each exit as they came. The first had a "burger shop" It would have been so great to eat there if the owners were home. (You see it was their backyard, and they served burgers if they were home grilling.) But no one at that...

If you are wondering why in the world are they posting so many pictures from their previous road trips and vacations.... well... there is actually a reason. I've been trying to narrow down how to use my passion for travel and researching new hotels, excursions, areas, beaches, mountains, retreats, and cities... etc....  Long story, short. I want to become a travel blogger. I am trying to gain a following and learn what others do, and why, through social media and online. Learn how to partner with hotels, cruise ships, restaurants and excursions so we can have a mutual experience.  Like I said, that's the long story short. I know I don't know a lot of things, and I also know that there are a million things I don't even know what I don't know.  If you know something I should know please share it. I would love some input as far as what you like to read about, what's helpful, what's funny, and even what to stay away from. Things like Top 10 B...
