• American Military Museum

  

  If you are driving down Rosemead Boulevard in South El Monte, you will pass a lot with a bunch of vehicles. You might think it is just some kind of parking lot or prop house,  but it is actually an outdoor military museum. When I went, I nearly drove past it. The American Military Museum…

It has numerous artifacts brought back to the USA by Antonio F. Futterer, whose explorations are believed to be what the movie “Raiders of the Lost Ark” is based on. He was…

• Weekend Trip to Lone Pine, California

  A long time ago, Westways Magazine by Auto Club, had an issue dedicated to Highway 395 in California. I became obsessed with it, though it would not be until many years later that I would start to actually explore it. It really does have a lot of stunning scenery all along its length.  My recent…

• 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

  

  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,…

• Free Museum Day – Descanso Gardens

  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…
