I’ve run a half marathon! My husband and I did another Calico Racing event, this time the 2013 Red Rock Canyon Marathon and 1/2 Marathon on March 9th. We were officially engaged out at Red Rock (Ice Box Canyon) in 2006. I say “officially” because I got to wear my engagement ring before we were … Continue reading »
The new Las Vegas Discovery Children’s Museum (formerly the Lied Discovery Children’s Museum) will be opening March 9th but today we had the great fortune of taking part in a member preview of the museum! Located right next to the Smith Center, the new museum has so many neat details inside that I tried to … Continue reading »

I ran my first 10K race! Since my last running update when I ran Calico Racing’s Recycled 5K, I’ve been increasing my running distances to get ready for the half marathon in March. On December 8, 2012 I ran my longest distance, 10 miles, in 1:59:27. Having broken the double digit barrier I decided to … Continue reading »

Last year we attended the Moapa Valley Art Guild Pomegranate Festival (I guess November is festival month in Southern Nevada) but wanted to do something different for 2012. I signed up in advance for a VIP ticket (the event is free, if you registered early you received a few perks, however) for the Vegas Valley … Continue reading »
Earlier this year I decided I’d set myself the goal of running the Vegas PBS 5k on October 6, 2012. When the FAAN Walk conflicted as it was that same morning, I decided to find another October 5k to try. Mind you, this was all before my spontaneous decision to run the Terminal 3 5K … Continue reading »
When tickets went on sale for the inaugural season of the Smith Center I knew I had to have them not so much for the four shows that were included but for the place in line they would give me for Wicked tickets.

As you can see from the picture of me above, it is a fantastic hike and you get to see great views of Lake Mead as you go! Be warned, however, this is not … Continue reading »
