Tombstone: The Town Too COOL to Die
Last year, Sara and I went to the Travel and Adventure Show in Long Beach. There were booths with Tourism Bureaus and tour companies. They encourage travel to their cities and countries. Of course, we want(ed) to go everywhere, but that day, Arizona won. We set off a few days later without any agenda. At…

Being Mostly Good in the Badlands
We got to the Badlands too late to visit for the day, so we spent the night in Wall, South Dakota. We checked out the town before we settled in because, apparently, small towns must now fit some criteria for us to actually spend the night. One bar/restaurant was mostly empty and the bartender…

Who knew LA & Wrightwood could be so much fun?
Recently, my brother, Don, visited me in Los Angeles. We started off the week by trying the Top Chef winner Michael Voltaggio’s ink.sack on Melrose Avenue. Delicious and inexpensive food! We were both very stoked. My brother is a foodie and always has a list of restaurants he wants to try when he is in…

I thought I was in heaven, but found out it was Spring Training
I have always wanted to check out Spring Training, but assumed it would be extremely expensive. Why did I never even LOOK at the prices? Oh. Because I am a total dufus. I was so convinced I would be disappointed that I was afraid to even look! DUH! Ticket prices depend on the ballpark/team, but…

Adventures in Death Valley, California
Sara and I went to Death Valley, California. I was always intrigued with it because of the name. I imagined it would be 150 million degrees all of the time and there would be spas and hot springs as far as the eye can see. . . or I’d see a lot of skeletons. We…
