For those who have forgotten how much fun it is to play dress up and enjoy a cup of tea with your grandma/stuffed animals/imaginary friends, I advise you to throw on your best dress and head to the nearest tea room – stat. I brought my sorority alumnae group to Mrs. Burton’s Tea Room and Victorian Shop […]
Floral Frenzy at the San Diego Fair
Sure the San Diego County Fair is about rides, rodeos and crazy food concoctions, but I’d like to highlight my 2nd favorite part of the fair: The garden exhibits. My favorite part of the fair is actually the petting zoo, but writing a whole post called “My Love of Sheep” or “How I Wish I Could Hug All […]

5/5 Stars for the Easy Star All-Stars
Last night I had the chance to see one of my favorite reggae bands, Easy Star All-Stars, at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. Known for bringing some of the best reggae acts to San Diego, the Belly Up’s relaxed and intimate atmosphere mixed with superb sound quality is a great pick for seeing […]
Culture and Cocktails
When you hear the word “museum,” do you automatically yawn? Does just reminiscing about grade school field trips to museums remind you of stuffy old buildings filled with paintings? The San Diego Museum of Art’s “Culture and Cocktail” events are meant to bring out the art-lover in everyone by pairing art exhibits with live DJ’s, […]
In Case You Need Reasons to Road Trip
Last weekend, the Los Angeles Times and the Orange County Register both ran stories that will get you itching to hit the road. The Times wrote about seeking out great craft beer and specifically highlighted brewery tours in San Diego. The Register did a “choose your own” adventure story featuring everything from the Loews Surf Dog Competition to Fleet Week with a […]
