Bryce Canyon National Park was really weird, and I mean that in the best way possible. You may agree as you drive towards the park. Remember, remember, I traveled in November, and hey! We got blasted by a snowstorm. Bryce town has an elevation of 8,000 feet so it was […]

This November I went on an absurd road trip starting in Las Vegas, all the way around Utah, through Arizona and ending at the Grand Canyon. It was exhausting, it was glorious, and it was everything in between. Our first stop after Las Vegas was Zion National Park, two and […]
Las Vegas is known for being over the top, you’re supposed to indulge your sinful self here. So don’t skip on dessert. In fact, get dessert that’s so over the top, you may never forget the experience in your life. Go to Sweet Raku [5040 W Spring Mountain Rd #3, […]
Las Vegas is a foodie dream town! There are endless options to choose from, it’s almost a daunting task to pick out a restaurant. Don’t fret, I’ve found the one you’ll want to dine at. Lotus of Siam [953 E Sahara Ave A5, Las Vegas, NV 89104] is a Thai […]
Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas [Located in the Median at the beginning of the Strip, plug in 5100 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89119]! For most, this sparkling sign is the image that pops up in your head when you hear ‘Las Vegas.’ The sign welcomes you into […]
The vision: A full day of hiking with abundant energy and sunshiny happiness. How to accomplish this when no good food is sold at the park? The plan: Breakfast in Las Vegas at Egg Works [4533 W. Sahara Ave. Las Vegas NV, 89102, and various locations]. A real hardy breakfast […]
We drove by once and missed it looking for a blinking neon sign and some sort of red carpet. Pulled a quick u-turn and looked again. The GPS said we were there, where is the place? It was a Saturday night, off the main drag, it could have been any […]
Trendy, affordable, and delectable, Carson Kitchen [124 S 6th St, Las Vegas, NV 89101] should be your dinner choice before exploring Fremont Street. The restaurant in located on a quiet corner, but it’s anything but hushed inside. The place was packed, but we scooted in to a table for two […]
Gambling. Entertainment. Neon. The Fremont Street Experience is the Las Vegas Experience. Fremont Street is the location of old Vegas where the first hotels were built. Now it has a very different feel from the main part of the strip. Neon signs are everywhere you look, it’s absolutely fabulous. This […]
During my stay in Las Vegas, I barely stayed in Las Vegas! There is so much to do other than the strip, and a great side adventure is just under an hour east. Heading towards the Hoover Dam we stopped at the Lake Mead Viewpoint [if you have the Hoover […]
My most recent trip out west had a focus on National Parks. I flew into Las Vegas as a base to travel around Utah and head into Arizona. I spent two days and one night located in the Vegas area, and decided to make the trip into California and visit […]
You read a lot of books in high school, some are okay, some bore you, some you totally forget about, but a few stick with you…possibly forever. The Crucible by Arthur Miller was one of those sticky books for me. I don’t know if it was the history of the […]
This is one of those places where everything was perfect. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does – treasure it. Dinner at Island Creek Oyster Bar [500 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA 02215] was one of the most memorable meals I’ve had in a long time. Reservations weren’t available until […]
I wanted to try some of the regional cuisine in the area so I thought the delicacy Boston cream pie was an essential bite. Although the home of the dessert is located in the city, I kept hearing great things about a local chain Flour Bakery [131 Clarendon St Boston, […]
I’ve always been fascinated by geography and loved looking at maps or globes. Normally you look at these things from the outside, but if you know where to go you can look from within. The Mapparium [200 Massachusetts Avenue, The Mary Baker Eddy Library, Boston, MA 02115] is a three […]
