One of the things I really wanted to do this trip to Palm Springs was go to Joshua Tree. But not for the reason many would want to visit this gorgeous park. While most come for the beauty of the landscape, or for cycling or to climb the unique rock formations, my visit was a…

Well, we’re home from California! And with lots and lots of photographs! I’m so eager to share my experiences and photos from this trip. My dad tagging along meant I got to go out and do so many wonderful things! And I’ll be sharing them all with you over the next few days. But today we…

Oops! Kind of forgot to mention I’m off gallivanting in California! Usually I do a little “I’m off! Might blog, might not!” type post, but things quickly spiraled as I attempted to wrap up a great number of things before heading south. This trip is a little different. While the main catalyst for this trip…

Hollywood

Yesterday Patrick and I roamed around Hollywood for awhile. Even without a car, we were able to make it to downtown LA via Metrolink, a commuter rail that connects much of southern California with Los Angeles’ Union Station. Once at Union Station, we were able to take the subway on into Hollywood for a bit…

One weekend that I look forward to each summer is the weekend spend at Portland International Raceway for the Portland Historic Races with my dad. As odd as it may sound, the days spent at the track are some of the most relaxing. We’ve been going to the Historics for over ten years, and the…

Days with Dad

When Patrick goes on business trips, I often decide to just go to my dad’s for the time he’s away. I love spending time with my dad since we share the same passions. The last few days were spent shopping, pricing inventory for the shop in Coburg, working on the newly acquired Cadillac hearse, and…

The Abandoned Orchid Tree Inn

Yesterday I realized I forgot to pack my card-reader. Then how did, you ask, I upload and blog about La Plaza? I went to a Rite Aid and bought a card-reader and on my way I found a hidden treasure…the currently for sale Orchid Tree Inn. Gear up for another picture heavy post, because this…

La Plaza

So far my trip to Palm Springs has been rather blah with regards to shopping (I haven’t checked everything out yet though!), but has been very keen with regards to architecture. I’d like to take this time to highlight one of my favorite little spots here in Palm Springs… La Plaza. La Plaza is a…

I spent quite a bit of my time in Austin just wondering around its downtown and south side. There is so much to see and do in Austin and I know I just scratched the surface of a great city with beautiful signage, delicious food, deep history, and fun people. Not pictured, but experienced was…

Our time here in Austin is winding down, and it’s been a hit and miss adventure. I finally did some decent shopping yesterday. But right now I really want to share with you the fantastical location we hung out at for a good chunk of our trip. Many companies at SXSW rent out homes or…
