Full of quaint homes, stone walls & history.. I recently had the opportunity to spend a long weekend in Quebec City with a good friend of mine and her family.  It's a gorgeous city to explore, a perfect size to walk around with lots of great views to take in along the way.  It was a pretty laid-back getaway weekend, so i'll just show you a couple of my highlights..

{colorado} I crossed the state line into Colorado and continued a short drive into the state to Pagosa Springs for the night.  I was amazed by how quickly the landscape changed from adobe homes in the sandy desert to log cabins in the lush mountains!  The change in landscape and change in elevation brought with it a rather drastic change in temperature; the night was rather brisk and my first time experiencing single digits in quite a while.   Welcome to Colorado! Pagosa Springs is a hot springs and skiing resort-style town.  It has a very nice little downtown, a few hot springs and all the typical tourist amenities.  I spent my night at the local Walmart, then went into town the next morning for church.  I joined Mark and Sara & their three kids for a Mexican mothers day lunch afterwards, then they took me for a scenic Sunday drive.  We wound our way through the mountains to the east of Pagosa Springs, finding a waterfall and a few scenic lookouts along the way... we even

{idaho} I crossed the state line into Idaho and stopped off at the un-manned tourist info centre with very limited attractions to promote.  There was one brochure for some hot springs, so I headed off in that direction only to discover that they have very limited operating hours and were closed.  Most of my drive was spent passing by potato fields or cows.. Welcome to Idaho! Instead of a soak in the hot springs I settled for a walk around Idaho Falls, which is kind of a side-ways falls in the middle of a river.  It was very great place to go for a walk before I finished the last hour of my drive to Victor.  The last few minutes of my drive wound through the national forest, which had more deer than I could count!  I was glad they all remained unattached to my van. Idaho Falls So many deers... My arrival in Victor was also the arrival of the rain, which would follow me for the next several days.    I spent the night with Dana at her gorgeous log cabin home, featuring a

{texas cont'd} After two weeks in Mission, I headed to Houston to spend 'a couple' weeks with Dustin & Laura, and their housemate Alex.  I went with the intention of only staying a couple of weeks and allowing my bank account to recuperate a little from the expense of the power system installation, but I loved it so much I ended up staying for 5 weeks!  Thankfully they were happy to have me, and we had a lot of fun together.. Laura & I squeezing in as many girls-days as possible! My first weekend in Houston, we headed down to Galveston for a beach day!  We met a few others at the beach and had a fun day reading & playing frisbee, and had a delicious picnic lunch.  Unfortunately mother nature didn't get the memo and it was quite windy, but we went home in varying shades of red regardless and were glad for the fresh air! Galveston Beach My second weekend in Houston was a long weekend, so I headed off to Austin to explore there.  It was a gorgeous
