April 5, 2025

To escape from the news, how about a summary and photos of a beautiful place to visit: the L.A. Arboretum and Botanic Garden. We’re loving how many things there are to do here in Los Angeles. Early last month we visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. If you missed that post, you can … More Los Angeles Arboretum and Botanic Garden

My 2024 in Photos

February 2, 2025

I had the best of intentions to get my recap of last year in photos out the first week of January and I did get it started. But the catastrophic fires in Los Angeles took center stage for over a week. It was pretty horrible and hard to watch my city burn and all the … More My 2024 in Photos

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.

A winter visit to the conservatory

December 29, 2022

It’s one of my favorite things to do during winter! We haven’t been to the conservatory since before everything shut down in early 2020. And naturally, things are different now. Advance reservations are required. Oh wait, now I remember that we made reservations at one point in the last almost 3 years. But something came … More A winter visit to the conservatory
