Now is the time to gather friends and purchase tickets to the Day of the Dead Festival at Hollywood Forever Cemetary before they are sold out!
When: Saturday, Oct 29th.
There are two event times .
The one from 10am-3pm is very family friendly. There is an abundance of creativity, music, entertainment, arts , culture , food and fun to be had so get there early to experience it all!
Also, I recommend getting your face painted outside the cemetery before the doors open . Not only is it cheaper but the lines are shorter. Parking is challenging in the area as well. An early arrival time or Uber is highly recommended.

Summers in the Midwest are not complete without a trip to the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island for old world hospitality and charm!
The Grand Hotel opened in 1887 and with its location in Northern Michigan , soon became a summer retreat for Chicago, Montreal and Detroit residents whom arrived by lake steamer.
It’s maximalist design can be accredited to Dorothy Draper.

Before we left LA for the midwest this summer, this little one got a chance to hit the sticks at The Hay at Pebble Beach ( in Carmel, CA) . The Hay is a short hole golf course that was redesigned by Tiger Woods in 2021. It includes an exact replica of the famed #7 at Pebble Beach golf course.
She birdied the first hole and took the lead to Papa until the 3rd. I played caddy. Thank gosh it was only 9 holes.
.
.
The Hay is $65 for the general public. Kids 12 and under are free. The vision for the Hay was that no matter your ability, juniors, friends and family can gather around the game of golf.

You have to have ALL your bag of tricks ready to go when you’re in Chicago due to the unpredictable weather here. @climbzone_chicago could not be more perfect !!! It’s also a great spot for a bday party. TONS of different themed climbing walls, zip lining, bumper cars, laser tag, games and a cafe inside …We got a day pass and stayed for hours. Let’s just say not only was it an early night for the kids , but they also slept IN 😉🙌🏽

Started off our summer with a trip to Yosemite.
I had no idea idea the park had so many waterfalls. The peak time to see water gushing down the mountains is in May or June when most of the snowmelt occurs.
This makes it a different experience than Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. Nonetheless these gentle giants are wonderous!

Looking for an EPIC Joshua Tree experience ? Here’s another one for the bucket list: The Integretron sound bath.
This unique structure was designed to be an electrostatic generator for the purpose of rejuvenation and time travel. Yes, wild.
But restorative and incredible I must say. The experience certainly took me on a journey.
Though the Integratron website says they are sold out through June, 2022 , they will welcome you to the property and put you on a wait list. From there you can hang out in a hammock and pray you get in if someone doesn’t show up! That’s what we did…. it worked ! 🙌🏽 and afterwards is a great time to head out to the Giant Rock!! * Please note you must be at least 12 years old to experience the Integretron.

This is just a small glimpse of the jaw dropping works of artist Nathan Sawaya on view at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. The dinosaur alone was made with over 80,000 legos! There are 100 sculptures on view here at the Museum of Science and Industry , making this Art of the Brick exhibition the largest display of Lego art in the world.

Our recent adventure has taken us to Florence to see Michaelangelo’s David , view Leonardo Da Vince’s famous painting The Last Supper in stained glass , visit a museum and take in gorgeous gardens with breathtaking views. Did I mentioned we never left LA!?
Forest Lawn Memorial’s is not only a place to honor the past but to celebrate life! This flagship location is in Glendale. You will find museum details and hours on their website.
Here’s a fun fact:
The first replica of the statue David was installed at Forest Lawn Memorial in 1939. It was made using Carrera marble acquired from the same quarry Michaelangelo used. The statue fell in 1971 due to an earthquake and was rebuilt in marble again, for the second time.
This statue crumbled down again in 2020 ! ( the head and feet are in the museum). Since then, David was rebuilt … but this time using bronze .
