One of my favorite memories from my time as a Lead at Goofy’s Kitchen in the Disneyland Hotel has nothing to do with serving guests—it was the beginning of a hobby that has stayed with me for decades. One of our Cast Members was a talented caricature artist who entertained guests throughout the day. As… Read More My First logo
I’ve always been fascinated by Old Hollywood, and my love for Marilyn Monroe began when I first moved to Los Angeles in the early 1990s. One of the very first things I did was visit her final resting place, along with the gravesites of many other Hollywood legends. That visit sparked a deeper interest in… Read More Happy 100th Marilyn

We set out this afternoon with plans to hike Inspiration Point, but as often happens on road trips, one unexpected stop changed everything.

After sleeping in as long as we could, we eased into the day and finished setting up our campsite, which would be home for the next two nights. With no rush to be anywhere, we enjoyed a relaxing brunch of fresh grilled potatoes and chicken before heading out to explore. Once brunch was finished, we… Read More Around Bryce Canyon
There’s something about the start of a road trip that always feels the same for us — late nights, early mornings, and the excitement of finally getting underway.
