Last week I was lucky enough to attend Kona Kai Resort’s first luau of the summer. Having only experienced a luau in Hawaii when I was all of 11 years old, I had no idea what I was in for. Was I supposed to bring my own hula skirt? Did you have to eat the […]

The Legendary PB Party Cab
About 5 years ago I started hearing stories about the Party Cab. Friends would call me after a wild night at the bars on Garnet Ave. and tell me that the highlight of their night was getting into an unassuming taxi cab, and once inside seeing the cab lit up with blacklights, glowsticks, and having […]
Military Monuments Eternally Entertained
The new memorial at Tuna Harbor Park, “A National Salute to Bob Hope and the Military,” is the crowning piece in the Port of San Diego Public Art program’s Greatest Generation Collection, which is a series of art pieces and memorials honoring people, events and military heritage from World War II to present day. Bob Hope’s presence in the collection is fitting since that is just about the same span of time that he entertained U.S. troops overseas.

Take A Stroll at La Jolla Shores Beach!
This past weekend was one of the best weather weekends we’ve had in a while! I really enjoyed my weekly beach volleyball games at Ocean Beach, but decided Sunday afternoon that my dose of beach on Saturday was just not enough for the weekend. With 70 miles of beaches in San Diego, there are a […]

You’re Never Too Old For Tea Parties
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 […]
