Christmas Eve over Segovia 🎈

For Christmas Eve I'm normally at home in Detroit cleaning up and preparing for the family dinner at my grandma's house. But this year, I decided to do something different. Since I was alone in Spain for the holiday, I wanted to do something that would remind me of my grandma. When I was a little girl, I told my grandma I wanted to ride in a hot air balloon like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. So I booked a balloon flight over Segovia! I flew over a big, beautiful castle, met a nice family that let me "borrow" their grandma for the day and overcame my fear of heights as well as cured my homesickness. 
¡FELIZ NAVIDAD!

During my week vacation in Las Vegas, Nevada I did everything but gamble 🎰(shocker). The first full day was very interesting. I woke up and had breakfast and then made my way to the Erotic Heritage Museum. There were many pictures, mannequin exhibits and short films. Long story short, I saw and learned a lot about sex (although I thought I was am expert) LOL.  The second day was spent on The High Roller which was a large Ferris wheel. Instead of sitting in seats like a regular Ferris wheel, the High Roller has room sized pods where you can stand or sit and see the view of the city. Then we went to a restaurant called Nacho Daddy where they have scorpion shots. That's right, the shot of tequila has a 🦂 on it. Of course I didn't do it but I cheered my friends on while squirming in my seat (I have bug-o-phobia)! This restaurant even has a vegan menu, so I ordered Vegan chicken tacos.  The third day we went to Gordon Ramsey's steak restaurant in the Paris Hotel Casino resort....

Snorkeling 🤿

My husband and I decided to take a trip up north for the 4th of July weekend. We wanted to try some new things and knock some bucket list items off of our check list. We originally arranged to go parasailing but they ended up having to cancel it due to high winds so we did a little jewelery shopping 🛍️ and then decided to go snorkeling. I was super excited about it leading up to it. Once we arrived, we got checked it and took our seats on the boat. The boat had a glass floor so I spent a lot of time looking at the fish, ship wrecks and skeletons (planted there for suspense)😂. Once we reached our destination, we out on our life jackets, masks and flippers. I took a few pictures and got ready to be adventurous!! Once I got in the water I started hyperventilating and saying no no no. Omari (my husband) said, "it's okay baby swim to me the life jacket will keep you afloat". I replied, "I'm getting back on the boat!" "You'll be okay, come on Tam, don...
