Toothsome Chocolate Emporium


The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen @universalcitywalk is such a fun experience. There are so many fun details and a bit of steampunk whimsy adds to the charm.


So many options of treats that everyone is bound to find a fav. One of my favorites was the assortment of macarons they offered. Definitely a place to spend some time taking it all in.

Schilter Family Farm


We took a day off from school to enjoy a new pumpkin patch , Schilter Family Farm 🎃
.
It was so much fun! It is a beautiful location and well laid out. We were able to do the corn maze , which was Top Gun themed and the maze was cut into jets .. so cool! I really appreciated that they had a Q code of the maze so you could find your way out of there within a reasonable time . There are some mazes that I feel like we are in forever so this was a great option.
.
We also enjoyed riding the tractor . It dropped us right in front of the pumpkin patch and we were able to pick a pumpkin.


.
Another fun treat we enjoyed were some Apple cider doughnuts and a cup of yummy apple cider. Delicious! It was the perfect treat to end our time at the pumpkin patch .

Mt. Rainier Family Adventure

The Mountains were calling and so we headed out to explore Mt. Rainier and do some snowshoeing .

We headed up to Paradise first, since it closes earlier. It was so beautiful and the perfect spot to start our adventure.

We were able to snowshoe around the Paradise Inn and get some terrific views from behind it. Absolutely beautiful ❤️


We had such a fun time exploring and playing in the snow at Mt. Rainier National Park .Its definitely one of our family’s favorite activity’s.

Disney Good Neighbor Hotel, Disneyland, Hotel, Review, travel

Best Western Plus Park Place Inn~Disneyland Good Neighbor Hotel


We recently stayed at the @bestwestern in Anaheim called the Best Western Plus Park Place Inn.It is one of Disneyland’s “Good Neighbor” Hotels.
.
One of the first things we loved was the sticker on the door certifying it was clean and ready .
.
Upon entering , we were pleasantly surprised. Since our last stay a few years ago the rooms had been remodeled and had a nice clean, crisp feel.
.
The rooms come with a good size fridge and with a coffee maker and supplies .
.
Some of the things we really loved were the door between our two rooms that we could open to go back and forth. The beds and couch were comfortable and we all woke up feeling refreshed .
.
Oh and this hotel is directly across from @disneyland!!!That is an amazing perk of staying at this property.
.
There is also a bagged breakfast to go that included a pastry, orange and bottled water you can pick up as you walk to the park.
.
The price point was great as well! We paid less then a 100$ a night off season but with the parks opened now the prices can range. We would stay here again if the price was under $200.It’s a great value for the location and room and it easily fits a family of 5 or larger with the connecting door between the rooms✨
