I’ve been running behind for a few days due to a very late concert night and some seasonal sickness. I’ve yet to create a reel from the incredible concert footage I recorded for the Queens- 4 Legends, 1 Stage tour that concluded at Vystar Arena in Jacksonville, but let me tell you, it was FABULOUS.

Gladys Knight was cute as a button and Patti LaBelle just marches to the beat of her own drum—and loves props.

Stephanie Mills brought her disco funk and wow, is she a looker, but I was there ultimately for Chaka Khan, who at 73 years old, is mind-blowing gorgeous. I don’t even think she needs a microphone because her voice is so powerful and loud. The evening concluded with Ain’t Nobody and I may or may not have shed some tears— at Through the Fire, too.

Bucket list checkmark for 4 amazing legends live!

🇺🇸 Road to America 250 – Day 86

Badlands National Park looks like another planet:

* Striped buttes stretching for miles
* Layers of yellow, green, and purple in the Yellow Mounds
* Formed from ancient seabeds and volcanic ash

It’s surreal and dramatic; one of those places that doesn’t look real until you see it for yourself. And it covers 244,000 acres, but you'll probably want to stick to the 39-mile Badlands Loop Scenic Byway.

🇺🇸 Road to America 250 – Day 98�

You can’t talk iconic landmarks without Alcatraz Island.

Once home to some of America’s most notorious criminals, this former prison now draws visitors for its history, mystery, and unbeatable views of San Francisco. The audio tour alone is worth the trip.

🇺🇸 Road to America 250 – Day 93 🇺🇸

Great Basin National Park is one of the most underrated national parks and one that the drive to get there, showcasing how vast and beautiful the American West can be, is equally impressive. Plus, it has free admission!

Great Basin is known for its ancient bristlecone pine trees (some of the oldest living organisms on Earth) along with spectacular caves and some of the darkest night skies in the country.

🇺🇸 Road to America 250 – Day 85

�Some parks just hit differently…especially when your dog agrees. 🐶

Lassen Volcanic National Park is Dexter’s favorite (and honestly, I get it). With bubbling geothermal areas, mountain views, and fewer crowds than California’s bigger parks, it’s a total win.

Bonus: it feels like Yellowstone’s "quieter" cousin.

While I'm over here sweating to death in the Florida heat and humidity🥵, these Nevada photos from this time last year are looking mighty appealing about now.

Blue skies, wide-open spaces, cooler temps, desert blooms, and some of my favorite scenery in the country. ❤️

The good news? I'll be headed that way in just a few weeks!

Can't wait to get my gambling fix, see my baby girl, catch up with friends, and cash in on some of my comped nights.

Nevada, save some of that beautiful weather and fun for me. ☀️🏜️

🇺🇸 Road to America 250 – Day 84

There are national parks…and then there’s Glacier National Park.
This one is the king. 👑

From the Going-to-the-Sun Road to crystal-clear lakes with colorful rock bottoms, every inch feels unreal. And don’t leave without trying something huckleberry—it’s Montana’s state fruit and absolutely delicious.

This park sets the bar HIGH for all others.

What’s for lunch? I had the Eggroll Sampler from Cheesecake Factory, but after waiting over an hour for a table and nearly as long for the food, did I still enjoy it? Hmmmm….
