Knott's Berry Farm & more! Coasters, new Fiesta Village, nearly visited a bakery, & shopping at DCA.

After a whirlwind April, and before an expected exhausting June, we kinda took May off. But since it we had the long Memorial Day weekend to look forward to, a quick overnighter to visit some local theme parks seemed like a good idea. We started off with a few coaster rides at Knott's before taking a walk around the park to see the new Fiesta Village and stopping by the saloon. Our next stop was to be lunch at Porto's, which did not go as planned. Then we wrapped up with some shopping at Disney California Adventure and an evening at Trader Sam's (not captured on video). A quick shout out to the viewer(s) that said hi at the Westin - thanks for watching and sorry for being confused at first! Enjoy!

Knott's Berry Farm, Easter 2023. A walk around the park and a few Boysenberry Festival treats.

After almost a year between visits, we made it back to Knott's Berry Farm on Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023. Mostly we took the opportunity to walk around the park on a beautiful morning wearing our Sunday best. We did ride a couple of attractions and dabbled in this year's Boysenberry Festival offerings. The festival is almost over at this point, so I don't know if I'd make any specific recommendations. We also ran into a couple of friends from the tiki community that we hadn't seen in a few years (not pictured) which was an unexpected treat. Oh and there's an overview of the Boysenberry Festival art exhibit. Casual trip - come check out Knott's with us and...Enjoy!

Disney Wish March 2023: Day 2. We're at sea and in the pool!

This is what I think of when I think of a cruise. Day 2 of no connection to the outside world and all we need to do is relax. Come for a quick look at the type of "day at sea" you can have if you're like us and get up early. Includes a full ride on the AquaMouse, Swiss Meltdown version.

  • Pool deck in the morning

  • Aqua Mouse: Swiss Meltdown

  • Cove area: infinity pool and bar

  • "Fish Extenders" and Pixie Dust
