Snow Goose Produce in Mt Vernon, WA

Rating: You Should Go

Nate's Uncle John told us about this stop after we stayed with him at his home in Mt Vernon. It was 90 degrees in Washington and we had just packed up our bags in a home with no air conditioning (or even fans) so we were looking for a way to cool down. Snow Goose Produce is a large produce stand on the side of the road that has fresh seafood, fruits, veggies, homemade goods, and (best of all) ice cream. We went

The Troubadour in Los Angeles, CA

I've been to a few concert halls over the years, but the Troubadour is my favorite so far. We went there to see mewithoutYou (as well as some awesome openers). Besides the fact that they made us line up around the corner, I liked everything about the place. The venue, like

We found La Conversation Cafe while searching for somewhere to eat that was close enough for us to walk from the Troubadour venue. This was literally just around the corner. It's a little French bakery and cafe just on the border of Beverly Hills next to Santa Monica Blvd (the sign for

Limericks Tavern is a pub-style bar in Upland. They have a full menu until late at night (we got there at 10pm and they were only serving appetizers and pizza).

They have this banana bread beer that is really good if you like banana bread (and are just getting into beers, like myself). I actually ordered a hot chocolate and zucchini fries (both were REALLY delicious). Most places I go I get really thick zucchini

Cirque du Soleil IRIS at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, CA

Rating: You Should Go

This review is really about two things, the Dolby Theater and the show IRIS performed by Cirque du Soleil. Luckily, both are AMAZING! The theater is host to the Academy Awards every year (aka The Oscars), which the show played on during one part. The seats are plush and there are four different levels of seating. I

Liberty Hotel in Hollywood, CA

Our church gave me a small trip to the Hollywood area as a thank-you for helping out, so I decided I might as well bring Nathan along, too :) Since people know that I usually care more about spending money on experiencing things than where I stay, they decided not to
