Tweet Have you ever had a massage or sat in a sauna in a cave…that’s under a wine vineyard? How about wine tasting in an adjacent underground chamber?

Tweet I know the new child safety seat law went in to effect here in California on January 1st, but did YOU know about it? While I don’t agree that it was completely necessary, and the penalties are severe, it was a pretty easy adjustment, all things considered. In case you haven’t seen the law, [...]
The Amazing Aulani
Tweet Where can you find the most amazing pool on the Island of Oahu? Ask any Disney Imagineer and the answer you’ll get is, “At Aulani, of course!” That was one of the goals: to build the best pool. But Disney didn’t stop there, although it certainly is the focal point of the entire resort. [...]
Disney’s New Hawaiian Resort Aulani at Night
Tweet We arrived on Oahu yesterday just before noon. We walked around Aulani for a bit, but all were exhausted. The kids and Christine crashed around 7 pm for the night, so I wondered around and took a few photos… This place is even more beautiful at night! – Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

They have the most animals, the best new exhibits and are always improving old ones. And the Polar Bear Plunge is [...]

Tweet . Ever watch a movie on the ceiling? At the Planetarium in the Griffith Observatory you can do just that. Only this time, it’ll be about the stars and planets of our galaxy, answering the question “How did we get our understanding of the cosmos?” Centered in the Universe begins with Ptolomy in 2nd [...]
