Grand Tour

The next stop on our tour throughout Spain is in Segovia. This small city may seem like it doesn't have much and is painfully out of the way, but it does have a massive piece of history that absolutely cannot be missed. Not only does it have an ancient Roman aqueduct, but the ancient town of Segovia is also home to an enormous cathedral, a fairytale castle, and most importantly to me it is the birthplace to many very important quintessentially Spanish dishes. The town is so chock full of history…

The site I chose to visit was the Creation & Earth Museum located in Santee.

Another strength of Casa San Ysidro is the space itself. Quite simply, the grounds at Casa San Ysidro is simply breathtaking. Casa San…

quickly), we decided to make only one trek per park. With hindsight, we are very pleased to have had a glance at so many different parks, different atmospheres, and surroundings! 4.

Prefer interactive activities where you are the actor of your entertainment such as trekking in the wilderness, biking in the canyons, rafting down a river, swimming in a lake.

Snow flies through the air. Blistery, frigid, and stinging air flows through the crowd. The sound of the ice crunching as the board glides over the shiny course projects through the Phoenix Snow Park in PyeongChang, South Korea. 17 year old Red Gerard is having the run of his life as he spins through the air. His final run is his best yet, with him using the whole slopestyle course to his advantage. After falling in both of his first two runs, things weren’t looking too good. Red was sitting in…
