One of the largest carnivores, matching T-Rex for size is the Giganotosaurus. He was easily the largest fossil at this exhibit a few years ago at the Denver Museum. Museum Monday is an every other week series about museum news, objects, and reviews.
I took a photography class back in high school and one night some friends of mine from the same class were hanging out and taking photos of one another. This is one of my favorite from that night, a photo of my friend Catherine in front of a window in her house. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.
Ever want to fly and spin through the water like a dolphin or swim with fishes like a mermaid? Then you should head to Bocas Del Toro Panama to try this activity out! I've heard this sport called a few different things. My tour company called it "Aqua Boarding", while I've seen others refer to it as "Deep Boarding". But when I first heard of it, it was called "Coral Surfing" by one of my favorite bloggers Alex in Wanderland. Essentially, you are pulled from a boat. But instead of a water ski device, you have a board, and you
It's 2019, and I injured my ankle in late December of last year. As I start yet another round of physical therapy it reminds me of my first trip to San Francisco back in 2008, around 6 months after ankle surgery. I had been in a cast for months and then physical therapy after that. Everyone said I'd be ready for the San Francisco trip, but it was rough. All the walking up and down steep hills killed me with each step. And sadly that is what I remember most from this trip. Struggling to keep up with my family.
Years ago I did a Girl's Trip to Las Vegas. I remember we hit up every casino for whatever their "Player's Card" free stuff was. On Freemont Street, at Binion's I won a printed photo of myself "licking" a million dollar pile of money because I panicked and couldn't think of a good pose. Souvenir Saturday is an every-other week series on the items that represent travel memories.
I attended the 12.1.18 Take Note Colorado The Fray concert at The Ogden Theater. I couldn't see Isaac for most of the show as I was in a weird place where his piano blocked my view, but he kindly gave me some photo opportunities towards the end of the show. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.
Meet Zed. This ice-age Columbian mammoth is massive and was around 47-51 years old when he died (usual life expectancy was likely 60.) He was found at the Rancho La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles back in 2006 when the LA County Museum of Art was expanding and building a new parking garage. He likely died while wandering into a stream to drink water, unaware of the danger lurking below the surface. He ultimately became stuck and died of exhaustion or starvation. Luckily for us, scavengers didn't go after his bones, and he likely was quickly covered up. He is
Surprisingly, my dog Tessa didn't make the cut, but a co-worker's cute puppy did. The rest are a nice mix of my interests: Halloween, Museums, Weird Light Up Sweaters, Comedy Shows, and my first ever NFL game! Be sure to check out more here and to follow me!
One Christmas Eve in 2017 I found myself overwhelmed by the spectacular immersive art exhibit called Meow Wolf, House of Eternal Returns. It's hard to describe. You start by being told the Charter, a sort of government organization investigating a family and their home due to portals to other worlds that have opened up in their home. As you wander the exhibits Charter minders and lab assistants monitor you. I explored this place for hours. There are no maps or instructions, you just wander around. Maybe you hit a wall and it makes music. Press a button and lights change. Duck under a
I've written before on the handmade pots I made on my various trips to St. John, but wanted to share one other item I got from the Maho Bay Clay Works. This lovely clay necklace wasn't made by me, but I got as a lovely reminder of my time in St. John. Souvenir Saturday is an every-other week series on the items that represent travel memories.
