When you think of “Good Vibrations,” what do you think of? The Beach Boys? That would be normal, but what I’ve always thought of is Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.

This is what the Myrtle Beach SkyWheel looks like by daylight. It’s a magnificent sight located in the heart of Myrtle Beach’s beautiful boardwalk and promenade area. Did I tell you that I hate Ferris wheels? I do. So obviously I had to ride it. At night. (When it’s even scarier.) It stands 187 feet high, and [...]

When my son comes to visit me, one of his favorite places to go is River Park North. It’s a simple and unassuming park which is exactly why he loves it. There are several dirt paths which loop around quiet pond areas, and if you walk the trails far enough, they’ll eventually lead to the [...]

I’ve been trying to be a good North Carolina cheerleader since I moved here, so I’ve been exploring the state a little bit at a time.

Holy cow, Frankie’s Fun Park in Raleigh is busy. I went on a Saturday night, and it wasn’t obnoxiously busy, but it was clearly a hopping place to be. There were families, couples on dates, and just groups of friends and everyone was having FUN! I was there to play mini-golf, but first I had to check [...]

I can’t draw, paint, sculpt, carve, or construct a recognizable thing, recognizable being the key word here. But I love and appreciate art and the talent it takes to create it! So I decided to spend a day at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, where there is art inside and outside! And [...]
