Mighty Five +2 – Day Two – Zion to Kanab
I’m not really one for magical moments. For me, they tend to happen in California, if they happen at all. Driving south into Big Sur. That deer that led me into 17 Mile Drive. You can see it on video somewhere in this blog—I’ll link it. But this morning, as we stepped off the shuttle…

Ultimate Pacific Coast Highway Itinerary: Seattle to San Diego
Now that we are home, here is the itinerary that I based everything on…just because it is o this list, doesn’t mean we did it, and we did a ton of stuff that wasn’t on here aat all. Pacific Coast Highway 1,675 miles long from Olympia, WA to San Diego, CA. Pre-Trip Day Friday, August…

The Smoke House
When I took The Warner Brothers Tour in 2019, the tour guide mentioned that behind the studio is a restaurant called The Smoke House. Not only is it an old Hollywood favourite, he proclaimed, but George Clooney ate there so much during ER, that he name his production company, Smoke House Productions. So when I…

Pink’s
709 N. La Brea Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90038 I am 98.3% sure I became aware of Pink’s when Demi Moore and Bruce Willis went there after their wedding. I got to go to the Las Vegas one, but nothing beats the original! And I always get the Mulholland Drive Dog: 9″ stretch dog, sautéed…

Salt & Straw
Sabrina and I stumbled upon this ice cream store on Abbot Kinney in 2019, and my world was turned upside down! Weird and wonderful… they have their Classic Flavors that never changes, but then comes the wackiness. Even though I got the classic flavour of Black Olive Brittle with Goat Cheese, it wasn’t on the…

In-N-Out Burger
I don’t know, y’all… I knew about it, but figured I’d never get west enough to have it and then in 2019 I went to California for the first time and made a point of getting it within days of arriving, but I only got it that one time, but I made up for it…

The Blind Rabbit
440 S Anaheim Blvd, Anaheim, CA 92805 I entered the The Blind Rabbit through sake barrels into the coolest 500 square feet I’ve ever seen. An actual speakeasy specializing in craft cocktails, I basically put my bartender in charge of my night and OMG! He made me two drinks that weren’t on the menu when…

The Ranch
1025 E. Ball Road, Anaheim, CA 92805 It is woeful how few pictures I have, but it was an unexpected night! I had planned on going to another restaurant, only to find it permanently closed, so as I shuffled through my pages of where to eat, I saw The Saloon! A big juicy hamburger and…
