Seaside Bakery (from Google Earth, I can't find my picture). Surfers at Newport Beach. Marine drills at Las Flores Viewpoint.

Blogging about all things travel. Wednesday, 24 February 2016. Lego Robotics and an Airforce Boneyard. There is not much our grandson loves more than dinosaurs, except perhaps robots.

Offers Lego Robotics workshops once a month I knew this spot needed to be on our itinerary.

Blogging about all things travel. Tuesday, 29 November 2016. Traveling Trails and Back Roads.

Vintage Blue Suitcase: November 2015
http://www.vintagebluesuitcase.ca/2015_11_01_archive.html
Blogging about all things travel. Friday, 6 November 2015. A Drive Through Kolob Canyon. I've been travelling down the I-15 from Alberta to Las Vegas and LA since I was a girl. My parents loved to head south for vacation every winter and this was their favourite route. A couple of times we went to Phoenix and Tucson, but usually California was our destination. This is the same trip my husband and I made for our honeymoon some 35 years ago and one we still enjoy with our family. Views on a hazy morning.

Blogging about all things travel. Monday, 26 December 2016. Digging Diamonds in Arkansas. Once we had decided on visiting Crater of Diamonds, I started to look for other things to do in the area while we were there. I was amazed at all of the “kid friendly” activities I found. Way too many for us to accomplish during our four day stop (so, of course, I am already planning our next visit! They only charge a small fee for activities. (Very helpful for the travel budget.). There is a spot where you can spra...

There are many things to do for the entire family but my husband and I like to visit there on our own as well. General store at Rhyolite with last remaining brothel in the background.
