Sleeping with the Sharks at Newport Aquarium

November 22, 2019 By Nedra McDaniel 5 Comments

Sleeping with the Sharks at the Newport Aquarium

An overnight adventure at Newport Aquarium, where you can sleep with the sharks, is an experience that ranks really high on my all time favorite adventure list.

That really says a lot considering that our family has been fortunate to have experienced a lot of incredible adventures.

I love getting opportunities to experience something that you can’t replicate anywhere else. This is one of those types of experiences.

Adventures That I Want to Experience This Year

January 1, 2019 By Nedra McDaniel 2 Comments

“If you want to do something bad enough, you will find a way, if not, you’ll find an excuse.” – Jim Rohn

This is my all-time favorite quote because it kicks my butt and challenges me to question my priorities and determine if they are really mine, someone else’s, or what I think I should want to do.

We can all say we don’t have time but if someone offered me an opportunity to experience a dream adventure, I would somehow find the time and make a way….and if it is really something that I want to do, what’s getting in the way and how can I change that?

I like to make a running tab of adventures that I want to cross off. I’ve been fortunate to cross many off the list this past year so that means that I keep looking for new ones to add to the list.

Experience Love for the Border in El Paso

July 22, 2018 By Nedra McDaniel 4 Comments

Experience love for the border in El Paso

El Paso, Texas is ones of those cities that I instantly fell in love with.

The landscape is so different from what I see in the Midwest and yet it had a few similarities.

I live in a Tri-State area where it is common to cross state borders daily and El Paso’s location is a Tri-city with access to both New Mexico and Juarez, Mexico.

It almost feels like it’s own distinct place because the landscape is so different from the flatter parts of the Texas.

What to Expect When You Visit a Cat Cafe for the First Time

August 4, 2017 By Nedra McDaniel 1 Comment

What to Expect When You Visit a Cat Cafe for the First Time

I’ll admit that I tend to be more of a dog person, but cats have really grown on me over the years.

My experience has been that dogs tend to be pretty easy to win over. Cats tend to enjoy making you work a little more for their affection.

Our family doesn’t own any pets, but we do love to visit other people’s dogs at the dog park. Now we can visit cats…and even potentially take them home with us.

We had a great time. I’m sharing tips to help you make the most out of your first visit.
