Dark Harbor 2018 February 26, 2019

Besides visiting my cousins and Aunt, this was a huge perk of going to California, Dark Harbor. It did not disappoint. If you are a fan of haunted mazes and all the Halloween stuff like we are, The Queen Mary delivered! We weren’t sure what to expect and Vic stopped me from watching videos on […]

Aquarium of the Pacific February 5, 2019

California Aquariums are pretty cool. We haven’t been to that many but we love the Monterey Bay Aquarium and California Academy of Sciences out of the few we’ve seen. When my cousin said that the Aquarium of the Pacific reminds her of the one in Monterey, it went immediately to our must-see list. Vic’s a […]

Eons ago…the universe was born. Sometimes by starlight when the quiet sets in you feel as if you’ve descended into a little bit of heaven. Behold, Castle Mountain and Bow River. “The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the […]
