Ice Skating in Union Square

Last holiday, my children saw the ice rinks set up and asked several times to go ice skating. For one reason or another, we could never get ourselves together in time to make it to a rink. By mid January, the rinks in our area were all taken down and we missed our opportunity to…

“Away in the manger, no crib for his bed The little lord Jesus lay down his sweet head The stars in the sky look down where he lay The little lord Jesus, asleep on the hay” While I don’t consider myself religious, I was raised Catholic, and Christmas is my favorite time of year. The…

Throwback Thursday: Christmas in New York

The lights, the windows, the skaters, the tree at Rockefeller Center – there is nothing better than Christmas in New York. Growing up in New Jersey, Christmas in New York was a yearly tradition.

In August of this year, the United States experienced an awesome sight: a total solar eclipse where the path of totality was right over the center of the country.  Most of the country was able to see at least some part of the eclipse.  In the Bay Area, we were slated to see 75%.  …

Slinkys, Nerf and Barbie – Toys of the Past at the Virginia Historical Society

Who doesn’t love toys? Dolls, trains, Shopkins and Legos are always lining my floor. So when we entered a history museum and saw an exhibit on toys of the 50s, 60s and 70s, we knew we had to go. On our quick trip to Richmond, Virginia we had a few hours and wanted to check…

Disney on Ice: Worlds of Enchantment

At work when an email comes through, “I have four tickets to Disney On Ice for tomorrow night, who wants them?” Faster than you could say “Oh boy” in a Mickey voice I snatched them up and soon, all four of us were packed into a car, fighting terrible rush hour traffic to see the…
