24 Hours in Austin

Originally published July 20, 2017 on BritneyCrosson.com

I love a getaway, even a short one.  That’s why when my husband and I had an opportunity to have a quick overnight without the kiddos recently, we took it.  So we set out on the 3-hour car ride from Houston to Austin on a Sunday morning, looking forward to green rolling hills, good food and less humidity.  Here’s what we squeezed into just 24 hours in Texas’ Capitol City.

Originally published March 16, 2017 on BritneyCrosson.com.

Believe it or not, some of us try to avoid chaos when we go to Vegas.  Sure, I love a good time, cocktails, music and fun.  But you won’t necessarily find me hanging out at the pool with all of the college kids on Labor Day Weekend.  If you’re like me, then you too will LOVE Wynn Las Vegas.  It has all of the fun of Sin City without the crazy.  Feel me?

Room With a View: Wynn Las Vegas

Originally published March 1, 2017 on BritneyCrosson.com.

I love a beautiful, clean hotel room with cozy robes, a comfy bed and a great view.  On a recent weekend getaway to Vegas with my husband, I got all of that and much more during our first stay at Wynn Las Vegas.

We both absolutely love Las Vegas.  This was actually our 11th trip to Sin City.  But of all of those visits we had only been to Wynn one time for dinner at SW Steakhouse back in 2006 (it was fabulous, by the way).  So it was high time that we spent more time at this awesome, golden hotel on The Strip.

If you’re looking for lots of great people watching and action and shopping, then a Sunday morning stroll in The Hills of Beverly is not for you.  But if you’re looking for peace and quiet and a chance to take in the beauty, as well as a chance to get great pictures without a bunch of tourists in the background, then do go out and about on a Sunday morning in The Golden Triangle.

Affordable Luxury: Sixty Beverly Hills

Originally published January 2, 2017 on BritneyCrosson.com.

Beverly Hills.  It’s one of the most famous zip codes in the world.  Who wouldn’t want to take a peak at what is known as one of the most luxurious and wealthy towns in existence?  I’ve been fascinated with Beverly Hills since I was a preteen.  The TV show, Beverly Hills 90210 was my absolute fave.  I still love it, actually.  From there I continued to be drawn in by any TV show, movie (Beverly Hills Cop, anyone?) or magazine article that mentioned the beautiful home of the one and only Rodeo Drive.
