Becki at A Book Lover’s Adventures has been running a series on her blog this year called Hometown Tourist.  She was kind enough to accept my submission to feature Arroyo Grande, CA.  We only lived there for three short years but it found a place in all our hearts and in many ways feels like our home town.

Please hop over to Becki’s blog to read all about it.  After you read about AG, check out a couple of the other featured home towns.  You might find a few stops to add to your next vacation.  I certainly have!

Here are a few pictures of Arroyo Grande to whet your appetite for more…

Day in the Life November 2019

BySheila Racinez

What would you do if you were home alone all day?   This episode of Day in the Life is a little different than the last two (February 2019, November 2018) because it fell on a Saturday rather than a weekday.  To make it even more unusual, my family was out of town for the…

Were there ghosts?! Visiting the Exchange Hotel Civil War Medical Museum

BySheila Racinez

Some say it’s haunted – it’s ranked the second most haunted place in Virginia! – but we did not see any ghosts or spirits when we stopped to see the Exchange Hotel Civil War Medical Museum. Maybe because it was a sunny, summer day. Or maybe there were ghosts and we just didn’t see them……

Museum of Appalachia

BySheila Racinez

Even in this modern age of technology, with information galore readily available at our fingertips, it is not always possible to get a sense of a place before you see it in person.  My Big Trip planning process involves varying amounts of research into potential waypoints each year.  Some places are more well-known or have…

Hello Saturday! Nice to see you! Make my coffee then come back upstairs to watch Biblioburro.  I’m writing a post about it and I’ve been meaning to finish watching the documentary but haven’t had a chance.  It’s in Spanish with subtitles so I can’t multi-task while watching which means finding time (after first remembering to…

It’s starting to feel a bit like Groundhog’s Day around here. Good morning everybody!  It’s looking a lot like May out there!  Tired teachers.  Excessive pollen. Endless driving to activities. Tired parents. Dishes. Laundry. Tests.  Tired students.  Pardon me while I go smash my alarm clock into a million pieces and shred the calendar into…

The Voice of the Airport

BySheila Racinez

  Quick question… is the voice of the announcements in the airport a person or a computer?  Hmm, perhaps you’ve never stopped to think about it before.  My answer would probably be computer. I would be wrong. Ironically enough, I saw the headline for this story the night before I headed to the airport on…
