We were super excited about tonight. The High Line, which we've been on plenty of times before, invited the City to come out and play after dark, in an event they called Up Late on the High Line. Along with the ability to roam the park after normal closing hours, they...

Secret Nature Sanctuary in Central Park
Today I checked another box off my bucket list. I explored the extremely rarely open (as in a few hours per year) Hallett Nature Sanctuary. The Hallett Nature Sanctuary as seen from across the Pond. So the history here is that in 1934, Robert Moses, the Parks...

Las Vegas Neon Boneyard Review and Pictures
After work today, we went out to the Neon Graveyard. It's been on our bucket list and it was the only touristy thing we wanted to accomplish on this trip. I also found out it's actually called the Neon Boneyard. Our experience was not great. Which is very...

Mt Roberts, Gastineau, and Gold Ridge Trail Guide
Two down, three to go. (Of the five peaks in Juneau.) Tanner and I (and Panda, who had to bail early to go to work) hiked Mt. Roberts today. It was much longer and more difficult than we had anticipated. But much more worth it than I thought it'd be. ...
Glee Live Tour – Las Vegas
Remember that time we said we were big Gleeks? We went to see them last night!!! It was amazing. Not just because we love Glee and it was so fun to see the cast in real life (which was very exciting), but the actual show (as far as concerts go) was really...
