The Mister and I visited Toronto last August for a wedding and we decided to stay a few extra days and look around the city a bit. Just to be upfront, Toronto is not on my Top Ten list of cities to visit. Probably not even the Top Twenty or Thirty. (Sorry Toronto friends reading …
Isn’t the architecture of New York amazing? We already toured the Empire State Building in Part 1 of my City Guide, but there’s also the Chrysler Building, the Flatiron, the New York Library and Grand Central Station and other hidden gems that pop out at you while you’re walking along on the sidewalk.I love the …
I know it’s touristy, but I really wanted to visit the Statue of Liberty. Lady Liberty in her green dress and her crown and her ice cream cone torch are amazing! And I had to see her up close. Unfortunately, I didn’t know that if you want to see up her skirt inside her, you …

On our second day in Seattle, the Mister and I visited the Space Needle and surrounding areas.Since we had both been to the top of the Space Needle before, we decided to skip it on this trip, but I very much recommend the view, especially around sunset.If you do decide to take a trip to the …
So a couple of weeks ago, the Mister and I flew* up to Seattle to visit some friends before they popped out a baby. (*By the way, may I please recommend flying Alaska Air, they are amazing and I can totally say that after having flown 4 flights with the shitastic United just a couple …
Our Day 17 of our Route 66 Road Trip was from Pasadena to Santa Monica and because we live in Los Angeles (and maybe because it was a Sunday) we didn’t stop at every single little thing as we drove from Pasadena to Santa Monica, so this is quite a shorter post than all of …
