It’s a road trip! This weekend, we headed about 1 hour North of Los Angeles to Lancaster, California. The remote desert city is home to mostly military families. But that’s not all – it has a road that plays the tune of the “William Tell Overture” as you drive over Avenue G….
Every Monday, there is that typical question at the office… So what did you do last weekend? A movie? Or that boring response of “nothing much”? But my office mates were intrigued when I told them about a California State Park with hundreds of acres of citrus groves. And in…
We were living in LA for at least 2 years before I heard about Idyllwild, California — a tiny mountaintop artist community that most pass right by while zipping to Palm Springs for the weekend. As one of the residents told me and Kevin, if you make it here 2…
I think my mom has found her new favorite place in California. Yesterday, I wrote about our first day experiencing the foodie adventures in Ojai. The fun continues as we hit the Sunday Farmer’s Market and take a cooking class at the Lavender Inn just steps away. Sunday – Day…
It’s my mom’s last weekend in Los Angeles before heading back to Florida. So we decided to get out of Los Angeles (she was about DONE with LA traffic!) and headed 90 minutes Northwest of LA to Ojai (pronounced “Oh, hi”). If you were addicted to the soapy ABC show Brothers and Sisters, you may…
Today my mom flew in from Florida to help out after my big knee surgery two weeks ago. I’ve been mostly bound to the condo so was ready to get out. She’s always up for an adventure — even if the Bunny Museum in Pasadena slightly scarred her a few years…
There is always something new opening up in Los Angeles. But the real test is staying power – and how innovative, or in many ways, how special a place can be. Right now, there is a culinary renaissance happening across the city. But especially in the corridor stretching from Chinatown through downtown…
It’s Valentine’s Day Los Angeles! Did you wait until the last minute to plan something special? Don’t fret. We got you covered, and have some quick and easy ideas to pull off a last minute date night. Here are some fun and romantic ideas — whether you got a wad…
Over the summer, my partner and I ate our way through India. I gotta admit. A big reason for visiting India wasn’t just the monuments (though the Taj Mahal was even more spectacular than ever imagined). I was probably more excited about eating Butter Chicken and curry every day. No…
It was on a whim to visit Arizona. I’m about to get surgery on my knee in a few weeks, so I won’t be traveling far over the next few months. I looked online and shockingly flights to Tucson are dirt cheap (like $110 roundtrip). I couldn’t even find flights to San Francisco…
