Bulls Smokin’ BBQ
Spaghetti Western Saloon door entrance for Bulls Thunder but no smoke. What I miss about bbq joints in the city is the aroma of smoke. Driving up the bull and the sign outside was how I found this place.

Ethel M. Chocolates & Cactus Garden / 2 Cactus Garden Dr. Henderson, Nevada. 89014
My goal in visiting the chocolate factory and cactus garden was just to enjoy the many cacti varieties and get the inside scoop on chocolate making. I really did not plan to buy a bunch of chocolate or souvenirs. So I’d guess you’d say I’m a bad tourist. But hey you do get free samples of chocolate!

Solvang Farmers Market
I love visiting Farmers Markets. My neighborhood had a nice farmers market but they kept losing their location and eventually closed. Lately I’ve been visiting the Hillcrest Farmer’s Market. While visiting Solvang I was excited to see the Solvang Farmers Market.

Danish Mill Bakery
One of my favorite things to do in Solvang is a morning walk to try out one of Solvang’s many bakeries. This day I stopped at Danish Mill Bakery.

Omelette with mango salsa / Maggie’s Creations
This is just one of my creations I came up with while shopping. I really love eggs so I’m always looking for a new way to make them. Unfortunately they don’t like me back so I can’t eat them as much as I’d like to. So when I do it’s a special indulgence.

Neon Museum
I first visited Las Vegas back around 2000. Work sent me to Comdex and the town was filled with techies. I loved seeing the bright neon at night. Freemont St. was filled with casino’s and flashy neon signs enticing you to enter and never leave.

Doc Burnstein’s Ice Cream Factory
The shortest pathway to get ice cream into my freezer is to get it fresh from Doc Burnstein’s factory. Buying ice cream from the grocery store always fills me with trepidation as you never know when you will get old ice cream that has been sitting around too long and has tons of ice crystals. I look forward to trying a variety of flavors when I go on road trips up the coast. Doc Burnstein rotates their flavors every month so each visit is an adventure.

Lion Habitat Ranch / 382 Bruner Ave. Henderson, Nevada 89044
So I found this place looking for something to do while I was in Las Vegas. I’ve wondered what happened to the MGM lions for some time now since they no longer have their exhibit. I was super excited to find they all retired to the Lion Habitat Ranch! And I do just love lions so this was a must see.
