Texas

Ok!  My first time blogging and it is blowing my mind...not really.  My name is Will Doland and I run Doland Jewelers in Davenport, Iowa.  My wife crystal works with me also and she will probably be posting more than myself...but you never know.  I want this blog to let everyone know who we are and what we do...but not just yet!
I just recently got back from the Lone Star state.  My dad Mike who owns the company and runs our Dubuque, Iowa location and I went to a buying show in Dallas Texas.  We stayed at the Gaylord Texan.  That place was huge.  In the center of the hotel was a giant atrium that looked like land features you would see in the old west.  Huge (Fake) rock formations and Alamo like architecture.  They even had a river flowing through it.  It was very cool and picked up some fun jewelry in the process.  The best part was that we got a direct flight from Moline to Dallas.  We never get a direct flight anywhere.  I am 6'2" and my dad is 6'6" and we don't fit next to each other in planes ever!
Anyway that is probably enough for episode #1 so until next time...
