The Minnesota State Fair like no other

September 22, 2024

For as long as we’ve lived in Minnesota we have always gone to the fair on opening day. And so we did again this year but this year was different because it is the last in this series as we are moving away from Minnesota. If you hadn’t heard, we are moving back to Los … More The Minnesota State Fair like no other

Goin’ back to Los Angeles

September 8, 2024

I said I’d never go back. You know that old adage: never say never. We’ve been on the road to “where shall we retire?” for so long. We have literally been around the world looking for that perfect place for the next chapter in our lives. For many years we were considering retiring to southern … More Goin’ back to Los Angeles

Museo del Prado y el Jardín Botánico – Madrid

August 23, 2024

This was the second to last day of our trip to Spain in May and it was likely my least favorite day. It happens. Our plan was to visit the Prado first thing after it opened, then have a bite to eat at El Brillante, visit the Jardín Botánico and then find the memorial to … More Museo del Prado y el Jardín Botánico – Madrid

Interactive Music Museum – Málaga, España

August 18, 2024

Or as it’s known in Málaga, Museo Interactivo de la Música or MIMMA. I found this museum quite by accident. Whilst researching places to eat, and wandering around neighborhoods in google maps for our trip to Spain in May, this museum caught my eye. When I told the husband about it, he said “put it … More Interactive Music Museum – Málaga, España
