Throughout quarantine I have kept myself busy by going on walks and hikes around my home, but over the weekend my family and I decided to get out and hike a trail at Peters Canyon. The outing reminded me of Virginia Beach, as my family would spontaneously hike at First Landing State Park, but the overall scenery was completely different. The hike was quite easy, … Continue reading Hiking My Way Out of Ennui
Lately I have been reminiscing about what I was doing this time last year. The adventures that I was going on don’t compare to the static life I’m living now. Last year, I was frolicking through the brightly colored poppy fields in Lake Elsinore. The area was saturated with bright orange flowers, contrasting from the green mountain they grew on, making it such a scenic … Continue reading How I Long for Poppy Field Adventures…
India is such a vast country. In order to see it all, one would have to stay three months or more. I saw many monuments while staying in North India for 2 weeks. Although the jet lag was insane, the food was amazing, and I took so many photos. The first monument that I traveled to was the Qutub Minar, a 239.5 foot tall minaret, … Continue reading Qutub Minar
Looking for a burger? I was surprised to learn that Red Robin has great options, even for VEGETARIANS . They have a blackbean patty and Impossible patty which can be subbed in any burger which make the options endless! The “French Onion Ringer” burger with a blackbean patty comes with three onion rings on top, and is very visually impressive. The patty can be … Continue reading Red Robin – Yummm
This July, I ventured out to the California Desert. I’m not sure if it was a good idea (it being so hot and all), but in the end, I guess I could say I had some fun and learned a few lessons Anza Borrego is known for its Bighorn Sheep, which I got to see plenty of during a chance encounter. I mainly went to … Continue reading Anna Borrego – More like Scorching Borrego
If you happen to be in Long Beach, try and stop at The Art of Bloom pop up museum! (It leaves September 29th). I found the concept of the exhibit last to be quite intriguing, as an app needs to be downloaded for part of the “museum”. There were two exhibits, if you will, and they both incorporated some sort of meditative property (as advertised). … Continue reading The Art of Bloom
Oregon is known for its greenery and natural wonders. I started off my trip at the Japanese Garden in Portland. The area was so peaceful. My favorite part of the garden was the koi pond. Next on my list were the waterfalls! I drove along the Mt. Hood Loop, stopping to see the falls. Multonomah Falls was the tallest and also had some area to … Continue reading Portland, OR
The Aquarium of the Pacific, or The Long Beach Aquarium, has been one of my favorite destinations since I was little. The entrance featured scuba divers feeding the fish in the Tropical Reef exhibit. I’m impressed with the range of animals presented here. My favorite exhibit is the Spider Crabs. They are freighting, but also very interesting creatures. I love watching the different … Continue reading The Aquarium of the Pacific
Last Sunday, my family and I drove down to Laguna Beach to attend the Sawdust Art Festival’s 28th Annual Winter Fantasy. There were so many booths set up, all with different media. The variety included jewelry, photography, clothing, ceramics, woodworks, painting, and sculpture. Being a winter theme, there were multiple Christmas trees and nutcrackers around. It even “snowed”! Admission was not 75 cents as it … Continue reading Sawdust Art Festival 2018
Today is world vegetarian day, and I was reminiscing about a cute restaurant I found in Key West… The Café! The options were endless and the food was delicious! We went there multiple times during our trip, so by the third day, the waitress recognized us! My favorite meals would have to be the “Un-Wing Dings” – a take on BBQ wings- and a mushroom quiche. … Continue reading On this world vegetarian day…
