We went to the Peltzer Farm for their pumpkin Patch. This is a really well laid out Farm. I can tell it was setup to hold events. There is a building for wine tasting, a pig race, gem panning, tractor ride and the pumpkin patch. It was nice to just walk around the grounds but the price was way too high. You could easily spend $100 for a family of 4. Probably my last time going there, but worth checking out just once.

Our Favorite Bakery at Solvang (The Solvang Bakery) - Ep 67

25/10/2024

If you love bird watching or just love nature, then you should go to the San Joaquin Marsh. They have a visitors center where the kids can learn more about the region. Then you can go on the bird walk. Make sure you bring a binocular with you. The day was really nice to be hiking outdoors. Our favorite bird that we spotted was the California Quail. So cute! This will be a very easy hike. The children had no problem walking through it.

Here's a fun Urban Hike you can go with the kids. It starts off at the Ballona Discovery Park in Playa Vista, the trail leads you to Loyola Marymount University. We did a small tour of thier beautiful campus. It is the first campus I've seen with trees growing inside the building. Then you head on over to a the Bluff next to the University. You'll see a sign for the Lion's trail. This takes you two miles and then you reach the street below the Bluff. Now head back to the discovery park. Make sure to walk through the YouTube LA headquarters before going back.

Google had converted a giant Hangar into office space. The hangar was where they built the Spruce Goose. And they also filmed the Titanic and Transformers in there. I wish we could go in, but I heard you need to know someone who works at Google. Overall we walked for 6 miles.

Torrey Pines State Reserve is a great beach for introverts. It costs about $15 to park at the North end. This probably is why it didn't seem crowded on a weekend. There is also a bridge that runs across that provides shade. There wasn't a need to wear any sun screen. The water also looked very clean. If you are looking for a good beach in San Diego, I would recommend coming here.

Why Does This Highschool Looks like a Castle (Little Rock Central Highschool) - Ep 66

18/10/2024

If you are at the South Coast Plaza, if you go across the street, there is the Orange County Museum of Art. It's completely free. You just need to register for a ticket. But watch out, you'll get spammed the next day for the LA Times.

The museum itself was interesting, we liked the exhibit with the toys, and the room with Giant yellow balloons. I also liked the architecture. They used a lot of curves. Really unique design. We only spent about 30 minutes inside. The entire second floor was closed for a new exhibit. Can't wait to go back to see what it is.

This Lake is Beautiful but DEADLY (Bringle Lake Park) - Ep 65

There was a FREE Lego Event in Hollywood. It was for their new Over the Moon Lego collaboration with Pharrell Williams and the movie Piece by Piece. They gave us free make and take mini figures, we got to customize our own Lego ID name tags, there were two building stations where we got to make and take space rocket/rover, free refreshments, a short Lego film, free stickers, free posters and a personalized Lego tote bag. There was so much Lego swag, I didn't have enough hands to grab them all. We spent so much time inside exploring and building.

Afterwards we walked around Hollywood. I found a star from Lucielle Ball, and dodged a ton of p**p. Hollywood is ok to visit occasionally, but definitely don't want to go back for a while.

This was our first time attending the Modern Makers Mart at Woodbury Town Center in Irvine. Everything is handmade and they have a live DJ. Looks like this market travels around. If you like handmade goods, and like supporting local artisans then you might want to check them out. www.modernmakersmart.com

So the largest Skecher in the world is in Gardena. And they opened up a restaurant called the Food Spot. It's such a unusual combination, food and shoes. But if Ikea could do it why not Skechers. So, we got the double cheese burger, pizza and lemonade. The pizza was equivalent to Costco. The burger was OK as well. They could have melted the cheese a bit longer, but it tasted decent. I might eat here a few more times to try the rest of the menu.

After eating, we went to the store, and legit was the biggest skecher store I've ever seen. They were promoting their new slip-ons which looked comfortable. Also they were giving away free popcorn. BTW, they got picklball shoes if anyone is interested.

The Most CHINESE Town in South Korea (Incheon Chinatown) - Ep 64

If you have kids that love solving cubes. Then they will know who Tingman is. He came all the way from Australia to perform a single show in Artesia. On Sunday he went to New York for the final performance. Overall l, I'd say it was fun wholesome and surprisingly musical. After the show we got to meet him in person and he signed some of our souvenirs. Great job on your very first live show!

On the second Saturday and Sunday at Rohr park in the city of Bonita, they have free train rides. I went to this park for another reason and I saw tracks. Luckily we came on the day they were running the trains. Both parents and children can ride. They also have a new looking playground, 3 mile running track and exercise equipment. I also found a historical building that I think you can rent as a vacation rental.

The Hmart in Balboa San Diego has a big food hall. The ones I've been to before usually only has a small restaurant inside. They also decorated it nice. Everything looks brand new. The food also looks super fresh. Next time I'm going to try the food hall. Didn't this time because it was jam packed and I don't like crowds.

This was the first time visiting the Huntington Beach Public Library and they had a crazy indoor water feature. The water feature has a spiral walkway going all the way to the bottom floor. The architect got real creative with this building. And it's one of the few Libraries that has a gift store and cafe. They also have a seed library. I guess I don't need to buy my seeds anymore. If you are in the area I think it's worth a quick visit just to admire the architecture.

This Historic Downtown is OVERRUN by Roosters (The Village Arroyo Grande) - Ep 63

23/09/2024

We got a free boba at One Zo Boba by reviewing them on Google. This place also has crane games and a photo booth. There was also something called a tanghulu which is a fruit skewer with a sweet syrup coating. I saw these a lot in Korea. Never tried one, but I should give it a try one day.

We went to anaheim to try this dumpling place that shapes them into characters. The restaurant is called Bun World. The dining area was a bit small, but luckily there was a table. Ordering was all done through your phone, or from a self serve kiosk.

Of course I went searching for the character dumplings, but they were all gone. The only one left was the Pikachu sandwich. Anyways, we got a hamburger style bun, a pan fried dumpling, one that looked like a ball and some bowls of noodles. Overall they were delicious, although not the best I've had. Some of the items were a little tough.

As for the price, it was fair. If you decide to come here, make sure to go early before they sell out of their characters. I really wanted to try the Kirby.

This is a good time to visit the Upper Newport Bay. The weather is getting great for hiking. We went to the Peter and Mary Muth interpretive center for story time, then checked out a documentary at their theatre. Then we went outside to go hiking. If you have little kids, I would recommend going on the Dehli trail. We even got to see a road runner up close and personal. First time seeing one so close. It's cool to have these natural wonders so nearby to the city.

Best Place to Watch STINKY Elephant Seals in California (Elephant Seals San Simeon) - Ep 62

When going to Bryce Canyon, there are a few more hikes you may want to check out that are easy for kids. The first one is the mossy cave trail. That one is a little over a mile and it ends at a Rock formation that is constantly dripping water. This causes moss to grow underneath. Thus the name. There is also a small creek nearby so the kids can dip their feet.

The next hike I recommend is at the Red Rock Canyon Visitors center about 20 min away. They have a loop trail just outside and there are posts throughout that gives you facts about that location. The trail is next to the canyons and there are a lot of pine trees for shade. The area is known to have rocks that form column like shapes. They call them hoodoo.

Anyways bothe these trails should only take a few hours, and afterwards you can find a picnic bench and have lunch. A great end to a fun trip.

If you garden you might have watched an Epic Gardener video on YouTube. He held a seed swap event at the Beautiful Bonita, CA yesterday. We brought some plants and seeds to share with the community and we got a bunch of seeds and plants back. We even got a yellow dragon fruit cutting. One of our favorite dragon fruit. The organizers even had a bounce house for the kids, a crafting table, board games and free healthy snacks. The airspace museum even came out with their truck to educate kids on the science of seeds. Thank you Kevin and Jacque! Looking forward to another seed swap event.

We finally made it to Bryce Canyon. It's about 2 hours away from Zion, but the weather is much nicer. Bryce is fairly small and you could do the park in one day. We did the Queens Garden trail to the Navajo Loop. Those are the two most popular trails. It starts out at sunrise point and ends at sunset point. So we literally hiked from Sunrise to Sunset

When you are there, remember to grab a junior ranger book at the visitors center. Your kids can get a Jr ranger badge when they complete the book.

Free Shuttles pretty much take you around most of the popular areas, but there is an area you need to drive to get too. Overall, we did three trails and even stopped at the Bryce canyon village to get ice cream at Ruby's.
