I rarely travel without my husband and/or kids. It’s always been my desire to take them places, not leave them behind. I’m ever in search of our next places to explore, but tomorrow I’m heading out with Ashley, my niece, for a dream Disney World Trip. Ashley is a jewel. While life went on as… [continue reading]

Sons of the Pioneers and Chuckwagon Supper
We timed our Shepherd of the Hills Homestead tour so that we wouldn’t have to wait too long before the Sons of the Pioneers Show and Chuckwagon Supper.
