Winter Wonderland Package at the Ocean House in Rhode Island
I grew up in Rhode Island, and although I no longer live there, it’s still one of my favorite places. There’s a quaint charm and just about every location throughout the entire state has a fabulous water view. It can be expensive to stay in the better Rhode Island resorts in the summer, but in...

Courtyard Los Angeles Baldwin Park for Rose Bowl Game
Courtyard Los Angeles Baldwin Park My husband and son are serious University of Oregon football fans. Not one for crowds, neither one had interest in watching the Tournament of Roses Parade® or the Roy Rogers “Happy Trails” float. When they found out that the Ducks were Rose Bowl-bound on January 2, 2012 they jumped on...

Old-Fashioned Home Cooking at Wishbone Family Restaurant, North Denver
Few old-fashioned Home Cooking restaurants remain, but that’s exactly what you get at the Wishbone Family Restaurant in North Denver. Wishbone Family Restaurant is a kitschy, old-fashioned, Sunday after-church, Denver restaurant, where you’d take the whole family including the grandparents and everyone is happy. The walls are hung with pictures of young Elvis and old...

Johanna and I went there on Christmas Eve, actually, because our kids were with their respective other parents and...

Last Supper At Wegmans’ Market Café
So with the start of the New Year, I made a resolution to begin this diet and exercise program I purchased in order to ditch the stubborn baby weight that lingers and lingers. The recipes suggested a more healthful list of ingredients – “clean food” I believe it is called. Non-processed, organic, expensive. I recalled...

Cheers! Order Up A Pint At Robin Hood British Pub
My husband and I have a running joke: My Japanese culture is duly represented in our restaurant choices – we eat sushi and ramen regularly – but the closest we get to honoring his British roots is when we go out to breakfast and he orders an English muffin. Which is probably made in Texas....
