Random Bison
I went to the William S. Hart Park in Newhall, CA to see bison. Years ago, my aunt took me there to see them and I wanted to show them to my boyfriend. It just seems random to me that there is a park with bison just chilling by a senior center. We drove into…

Pinnacles! Monterey!! Morro Bay!!!
Over the Thanksgiving holiday, my boyfriend Brian & I went on a lil roadtrip. We drove up to Monterey and walked around Cannery Row until the sun went down. I don’t usually go to any pier near where I live, but on trips I don’t mind being touristy. Plus, there are a lot of small…

Headed East for the Day
Sara and I were really due for a road trip. We picked the direction of East. Sara found hot springs and an art exhibit. I had seen rumblings about a house Al Capone once lived in that is on the way. We also thought we could fit some time in Joshua Tree National Park. So,…

I decided to partake in the free Museum Day in Los Angeles, CA last week. I have been spending far too much time indoors and was glad for an excuse to get outside. There were a lot of places taking part, but I chose Descanso Gardens because I had never been. It was a lovely…

Salton Sea, Take 2, Bananas & Salvation Mountain
The first time I went to Salton Sea, I assumed it was some tiny little body of water, so figured it would be a cinch to find Bombay Beach. Sara and I got there and found a closed visitor’s center and a very smelly run down shack. This time, I made sure to actually research…

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…
