Yosemite Travel Tips from First Timers (and one on...
We received a lot of advice about getting to Yosemite early, parking in one of the main lots and then taking the Shuttle, which takes you to just about every popular place, or you can hike from those popular places to where you want to be. This was our plan until my 14-year-old daughter sprained her ankle literally two days before our trip and ended up on crutches. Our plans for hiking now had to be adjusted to Plan B: driving and parking as close to the sights as possible.

The Real Life of La Jolla
here it was, a real-life La Jolla moment. I could stay all day and watch, but I felt like momma wanted her privacy. She will be a great caregiver to her baby I’m sure. Did you know that baby sea lions memorize their momma’s bark? The barking all sounded the same to me, but even each sea lion is unique. This is their place, and we were just visiting.
I felt honored just to see this special moment and connect with the land and nature. When we ask, "Is There More To Life?" these are the moments we are looking for. The real moments that make up our lives.

Have A Wonderfully Socially Distanced Christmas
Have a wonderfully socially distanced Christmas, this year, welcome to the quarantine holidays. Wow. When I wrote last year's blog Celebrating ALL Christmas in Los Angeles, I had no idea that, well, 2020 would happen, resulting in a Covid Christmas. No one did. And now, the happiest time of the year is...not so much. But, there is holiday spirit to be found in Los Angeles. I present to you (pun intended): A Drive-Thru Christmas.
Capturing a COVID California in Photos
'm capturing a COVID world in photos because it's hard to capture the surrealness of COVID19 into words. While my article Corona in California and Things To Do During COVID describes what Los Angeles was like March-May, capturing a COVID World in Photos shows you what I saw (or didn't see) during the time of COVID19.

Travel Guide to Favorite SoCal Beach Piers
It's a round-up of my favorite SoCal Beach Piers because Labor Day weekend marks the end of summer...unless you are in Southern California and can hit those beaches all year long. SoCal beach piers are those iconic structures you find on postcards and t-shirts. They are an immediate way to identify which beach it is, and each beach comes with its own look and personality.
