Don Quijote’s Spanish Restaurante [adrotate group=”6″] Indiana’s oldest and only authentic Spanish restaurant I enjoy good food. Finding good food can present a challenge at times, especially when you travel to places that are not exactly tourist attractions. Northwest Indiana is one of those places. While Cracker Barrel and Steak and Shake are okay in a pinch, they do not exactly meet my standards for a quality meal. Don Quijote’s Restaurante in downtown Valparaiso definitely is the exception to the rule as far as good food is concerned. I first heard of the place when driving here from Chicago. There …

If you know me, you know I like to blow things up. I don’t think it should be limited to once a year, besides, it is one of the best things about Indiana . . . year round fireworks. Phantom Fireworks appreciates my business and I appreciate their numerous locations. Day 21.

Well, since the weather here sucks lately I might as well use this opportunity to see how bad it really can be by going back to Indiana. I have a feeling I am going to miss the rain, wind and 60+ temps. At least I will have Tanya. Day 18.

It is getting wet out here

Death Valley Days [adrotate group=”6″] Adventure in the Mojave Desert As we headed home from Las Vegas we decided to take a detour to one of California’s most overlooked destinations, Death Valley.

So, a few weeks ago I was talking online to Tanya about her video blog, and we were discussing different things she might be able to do to mix things up. Since one thing they have plenty of out in her neck of the woods is snow, I suggested she make a snow angel. She ended up making a great video that was even picked up by the CBS network in Chicago. Anyway, I decided to do a how to video on how to make a snow angel when plagued with 70 degree weather all winter. I hope you enjoy.

Valley of Fire [adrotate group=”6″] Amazing landscape in the Nevada desert My girlfriend and I were scheduled to be in Vegas longer than we needed to be so we decided to spend a day in the Mojave Desert, taking pictures. We have a good friend that is a professional photographer and he agreed to show us some of his favorite spots in the Valley of Fire State Park. He also gave us some photography tips that we put to good use, immediately. This place has some amazing rock formations and landscapes that were enhanced by the winter skies. There was …
