Hold Hands & Hug in Horror at Knott’s Scary Farm

Posted on October 16, 2014 by Lesley | 1 Comments

There’s something about being heart-pumping scared that makes for a great date night. Normally, I opt for the jump out of a plane or off of a building scared but we decided to try the 160 acres of horror, clowns, goblins, monsters, mazes, ghosts of Halloween type of scary at Knott’s Scary Farm. If Trick or Treat and Black Magic…

The 5 Senses of Flavour – Dining at The Deck on Laguna Beach

Posted on September 12, 2014 by Lesley | 1 Comments

We’re influenced by our environment when we eat or drink. Like Pavlov’s dog, we pick up on cues and use them to infer what our experience will be – how tasty something is, how much we’ll like it. Don’t believe me? Think about the temperature in restaurants. When it’s colder, you eat more. Or when you smell popcorn, your mouth…

We had a Great Time at Adventure City Until This Happened‏

Posted on September 9, 2014 by Lesley | 2 Comments

We’re back home in SoCal for three weeks, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have awesome adventures and new, unique experiences right here at our doorstep. Adventure City was on the list for this weekend. With 10 child-friendly rides, a rock climbing wall, a petting farm, a children’s theater, and an arcade, Adventure City is definitely worth the 5 Freeway…

Video Editing with GoPro Studio

Posted on September 8, 2014 by Lesley | 0 Comments

We have been shooting tons of GoPro footage over the last few years, but it’s been wasting away on a hard drive, unseen and unedited. GoPro Studio is a quick and easy solution to the problem. We’ve gone through a few of our trips and used the GoPro Studio Templates to create short video reminders of the fun we’ve been…

Best Views in the US Virgin Islands

Posted on July 27, 2014 by Lesley | 1 Comments

Every view in every direction was stunning. From lush mountain ranges to turquoise waters, the US Virgin Islands are picture perfect. Each of the three major islands has a unique character all its own. Fortunately, I was able to explore both St. Thomas and St. John during my 5 day vacation. I’ll have to make another trip back to experience St. Croix…

I Am Iron Woman

I seek adventures that scare me. Living life on the other side of my fears is the greatest reward possible. While in St. Thomas, USVI, I had the opportunity to try flyboarding over the pristine waters of Lindbergh Bay with St. Thomas Flyboarding. I was scared; heck, I was petrified. Flying 30 feet above the crystal blue waters, diving like…

Universal Date in Hollywood, California

Dear Darren Carter, I’ve had my eye on you for some time now. Your new jeans do an awesome job accentuating your… and your Donald Duck voice is the best reminder of how great a father you are. (A real turn-on for this gal.) Your jokes always keep me laughing, your smile brightens my day, and your commitment to a…

A Photo Journey through Santa Monica Pier, California

Posted on April 24, 2014 by Lesley | 2 Comments

When I first visited Santa Monica Pier, I felt like I was on a movie set. The pier, the sky, and the clouds reflected in the ocean and it created a Alice in Wonderland moment; had a fallen in the rabbit hole and entered another world? I wondered when I was going to run into the Mad Hatter, which was…
