Who doesn't love a quirky little miss sunshine local family business? Especially once they realize that they exist...
I was digging for an adventure that would not soon be forgotten, so was thrilled to discover that we could actually rent a fully…More »
We are on a mission to visit every National Park in the US, and so far this is my favorite (although Glacier is pretty breathtaking).
Red rocks and orchards? Virtually no crowds? Yes, yes, yes. We were able to pick plums, peaches and apples on this…More »
MFM is the embodiment of the one man show. This tiny organic farm is an oasis of freshly baked bread and veggie juice and salads in the middle of the desert.
There is something completely surreal about consuming vibrant veggies in such a barren…More »
Besides the quest to visit every National Park in the system, we are on a mission to find our favorite hot springs in the world. Now that we have a kid, we don't brave the mud pit in the middle of nowhere places any longer, so these half-developed,…More »
When my Dad told me about "Grandpa's in the Tuff Shed", a movie about a Norwegian guy who had his frozen Grandfather in a shack, I swore he was putting me on. It is not only true, but a celebrated event.
5 Stars for the bizarre quotient alone. I…More »
How could you not love a celebration of Happiness? Especially if it's only a dollar?
The day we visited, I happened to have an evil Irish Whiskey hangover, so did not partake in the joy, but my daughter and her friend Lala had three consecutive rides…More »

The owner looks like a 50 year old Snookie. Kid you not. The tan, the poof, the frosty pink lipstick. Even a tiny dog. Very sweet lady...
This is a cheap, decent course, but it has the most unexpectedly stunning gardens-overflowing with poppies,…More »
It felt so strange eating sushi at Whistler, that we walked around for an hour checking out other places heading back here.
We had to wait in the bar for 30 mins-everyone had sake margaritas. We had cold unfiltered sake. The wall on the hallway to…More »
After camping and diner food, Bamboo was an oasis of vibrant health.
Great fresh juice and salads from the take out kitchen in the back. Nice to sit outside under an umbrella.
A bit expensive, I went back to get a tiny tub of tuna to add a bit of…More »
Someone told us the pizza joint was the best thing in town, but I had a feeling they were wrong. Out of the corner of my eye, I spied The Village Cafe, and yelped it. YES. Better than mediocre pizza. Much better...
One of the best sandies I've had in…More »
There are two sides to the bakery, one with bread and sandies, one with sweet goodness. If you have a family that tries to rush (ok, maybe I'm a freakin slowpoke that takes forever to look at everything), you might miss something. I went back and…More »
Visiting in the summer is crazy. Traffic and lines at the grocery store are exhausting. Throngs eat ice cream and taffy while buying trinkets. The lake is a manmade joke, and they charge to get anywhere near it. Nearby Mary's Lake was pretty, if it…More »
I am a chronic perfectionist, especially when it comes to travel. I always think, oh we should have tried that place, or why didn't we go to this place instead.
I could not find anything wrong with The Clement. (Oh, except maybe the $20 charge for a…More »

Beautiful marble, movie memorabilia and a jukebox with doowop & crooners @ 3 for a quarter? Oh, and ice cream. The glace is quite tasty, but it's the atmosphere and history that get the stars...
Cheers~
Our favorite restaurant went out of business, so we were wandering in the heat and found Papillote just in time (they close at 7:30!).
Crab and Mango Tartine was fabulous, and the brioche beneath it was was delicious, but a bit thick for my taste. One…More »
The best thing in this place is the ice water. Mmm, crushed ice...
We were sorely disappointed with the food. It was bad. I mean, woke up mad the next day, grumpy for a few days bad. And we WAITED for over an hour to eat crappy food. (Ok, truth be…More »
