Photos: Las Vegas Neon
On our recent and most likely our last trip to Las Vegas for awhile (time to visit other cities!) we toured some vintage neon. Below you’ll find some beautiful, old and iconic neon signs. Enjoy! The tour of the Neon Boneyard Park is so worth the visit. The tour and the stories are so awesome – these pictures don’t clearly convey the vastness of it all. Hearing all the interesting background stories on the photos above is worth the visit. Give yourself a couple of…

Project: Travel Pack
Travel Pack Kate Spade – she is the sister to the comedian David Spade – and she is a talented fashion designer. One problem – she made this calendar which I have no use for. My solution? Hack away and change it into something I will use – a travel pack! Also, I’m sorry mom for using the word hack, I know you dislike it. However, at least I didn’t call it an ‘Epic Hack!!’. Haha. Okay…back to the travel pack. I know you might…

Photos: San Francisco
San Francisco! When I was 18 I lived in Santa Clara, California for about 6 months. It was awesome…I missed my family, yet made friends and quickly found out that San Francisco was referred to as “the city”. Well, let me tell you, it lives up to it’s name. Here you’ll find ways to see San Francisco as a local, yet also do some of the touristy things the city is know for – like the Cable Car. I’ll walk you though our 2 night,…

Photos: Mexico
Before the Trip Crossing the border into Mexico – through San Ysidro, San Diego. The plan – visit Tijuana, Mexico for a few hours while we were vacationing in Southern California. I called our car insurance provider to ensure we would be covered if something happened – minor damage all the way up to third party liability – she said no. Actually, she screamed NO in capital letters causing me massive frustration. In response I articulated that we were not the first, surly, to venture…

Disney’s Cars Land
Cars Land – one of the huge reasons to head to Disney California Adventure. Disney’s Cars Land See the photo above? The crew members walked us back at opening…this prevents people from running and trampling over each other just to get to the line first…they walk you nice and slowly. Get to the park early to ensure you’re upfront and ready! Okay – some things you need to know: The fast past distribution centre is by ‘it’s tough to be a bug’ not by the…

Disney’s Pixar Parade
The Pixar Parade – at Disney California Adventure. Disney’s Pixar Parade The parade was so much fun…note, you will get wet! The characters spray water. Best spot to watch, across from The Little Mermaid ride…and just like your spot at Disneyland, you can sneak back to Paradise Pier and enjoy the rides with shorter lines! Enjoy the photos. My favourite are the flying girls from Toy Story. What’s her name? Jessie, yes – that’s it. Jessie flies and flies over the rails. It’s fun for…

Disneyland Parade
Disneyland Parade Disneyland! Best place to take a picture with Sleeping Beauty’s Castle – the right side…you’ll get the water, the whole castle and very little foot traffic interruption (plus, no one in the background). Awesome spot. For watching the Parade…watch between the Castle and the Matterhorn Bobsleds – you can only sit on the Castle side (you can’t sit along the fence opposite) which means that all the characters will look directly at you…it’s so much fun. Sit on the ground right up until…
