Spring Break- March, 2018

Safari West, Santa Rosa, CA

We've enjoyed this amazing place many times beofre but, never stayed the night.  It was a great day and night!

CHINATOWN 

I planned a cultural and food tour that took us on a day long exploration of Chinatown....8.1 miles and this was our experience!

Mission District

Took a Food Tour with SF Secret Food tours...

The highlight was definitely this amazing area with tons of street art!  So much fun exploring a new area...

Las Vegas

The day after Christmas we drove to Las Vegas for a few day's visit.  Not the best time of year to drive!  What is usually a 5 1/2 hour drive took us 11 HOURS!!!!  Lots of traffic.

Our only choice was to enjoy each others' company while stuck in car, often sitting still or 5-10 mph.

We finally arrived and our itinerary could begin!

Our all-time favorite thing to do when travelling- go on a food tour!  It gives us the opportunity to walk and hear fun, interesting facts about the area.  We obviously eat a lot of great food.  We skipped lunch, knowing we'd get plenty for lunch/ dinner.

Day Two- up early to get shuttle to Bonnie Springs Ranch for a horseback ride 

After a restful afternoon, we got ready to head across the street to see Cirque du Soleil show...

We had a final stop on our way out of town...the magical exhibit,

Seven magic Mountains.  

It's about 15 miles South of Las Vegas.  

Ryan is now a UCLA Bruin!

He's a freshman at UCLA

 saying goodbye was hard to do!
