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…

Secrets of My Big Trip Planning Process

BySheila Racinez

Every year my family takes an epic cross-country road trip. We started calling it “Big Trip” and the name stuck.  This year is Big Trip Lucky 13. (I’m not too superstitious but it just seemed like a good idea to hedge our bets and add “Lucky” to the name for this year.)  We’ve been driving…

Happy Little Trees – Bob Ross’ Legacy of Joy

It’s Saturday morning and I’m piled on the couch with my kids.  All of us are in our pajamas and one of us definitely doesn’t want to be up yet. (Hint – it’s not the kids.) Bob Ross is on the television calmly painting a serene landscape and we are all completely engrossed in the…

Save I went to the market today.  Not my usual shopping at Safeway.  Nope.  Today I went to H-Mart.  For me, going to H-Mart is a trip to an exotic location.  I am fascinated and nervous at the same time.  It’s a grocery store (I go to the grocery store practically every day) but filled…

Thursday (Week in the Life 2018 Day 4)

BySheila Racinez

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…

Semper Fi

A visit to the National Museum of the Marine Corps Washington, DC is known for its many monuments and the Smithsonian museums.  A short (or long depending on traffic!) drive south on I-95 will bring you to the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Quantico, VA. In my opinion, it is worth the drive.  The…

Day in the Life February 2019

BySheila Racinez

Time again for another Day in the Life of Me capture!  As always, I follow Ali Edwards’ schedule and once again I also decided to follow her prompt of Morning, Afternoon, and Evening.  Initially this idea of breaking the day down into sections didn’t appeal to me but then as I thought more about it…
