• 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…

• Day Trip to San Francisco

  I have been to San Francisco many times, but never grow tired of the place. When I went with my family, we stayed at da Vinci Villa for one night. It had been upgraded and we were eager to check it out. It was generally fine, but the walls were definitely thin, but that isn’t…

• Drum Barracks, Civil War Museum in Wilmington, CA

  A few weeks ago, my boyfriend, Brian, and I went to the Chowder Barge in Wilmington, CA. It is a barge that was used as a support vessel (whatever that means) for “Mutiny on the Bounty” that was repurposed to be a restaurant on the water in the Leeward Bay Marina, surrounded by boats. I…

  Grand Central Air Terminal, Glendale, California I work on the production side of commercials. Sometimes, the shoots are on stages that have been used in famous and beloved television shows and movies, often with commemorative plaques hung on the wall outside the door. Sometimes, the location is a beach, a house, or a museum. Sometimes,…

• Virginia Is For Sliders

  I thought Virginia was for lovers, but since I was traveling solo this trip, and my last relationship was in the rearview along with the rest of the roadkill, I was just passing through, so there was no lovin’ as I drove through the state, heading back to the West coast to join back up…

• Hitting The Bean & the History Museum in Chicago

  It took living in Los Angeles a few years to really appreciate my hometown, Chicago. Parking is crazy expensive in Chicago (Thanks, Daley!!!!), so my Mom and I took a train Downtown.   We hung out in Millennium Park. This place was not around when I lived in Chicago, so I had not been..  Mom…
