Tales of adventure from the exciting lives of Matt and Traci Ragas
About Me

Matt, Traci, and Clark Ragas live in Chicago.

Matt is a native of New Orleans, Louisiana, though he called the Sunshine State home for over a decade before moving to Chicago. Traci hails from St. Petersburg, Florida and has never lived more than 45 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico.

Clark originally hails from - well, we aren't totally sure. We're just blessed to have him in our family. He's a "rescue dog" as we say. :)

Here is where you can learn all about our new life in the big city.

Las Vegas trip

A few weekends ago, we took a weekend trip to Las Vegas to see our friends Rich and Meghan tie the knot at Caesar's Palace.

It also happened to be our fifth anniversary, so we celebrated with a delicious dinner at Del Frisco's.  We also took in the sites and walked around the Wynn and Encore, two resort/casinos that didn't exist when we were in Vegas in 2003.  Here are a few pics, but as they say, "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." (kidding, of course - we actually didn't have time to gamble or even play the slots, though we did take advantage of the very cool buffet at the Wynn.

Tom Brokaw at the Chicago Public Library

Matt and I continue to take advantage of Chicago and the many things the city has to offer.  On a tour to promote his new book, Tom Brokaw made a stop at the Harold Washington Library tonight and we were lucky enough (tickets were sold out, but we grabbed seats a few weeks ago!)  to have the chance to listen to his talk.  Last year we saw Anthony Bourdain, when he came to town. 

Tom Brokaw was intelligent, funny, and left us thinking.  His discussion promoted good dinner talk for us as we reviewed our favorite parts.  It was the perfect start to our week!
