I had been meaning to check the Aliante Nature Discovery Park out (here’s the North Las Vegas Parks and Recreation brochure link), so the invitation from Sarah to meet up there was the perfect excuse. A warning, the Google Maps entry for the park displays the right location but the official address it uses for navigation … Continue reading »
I was able to take E to her first full stage performance on Saturday for The Smith Center’s showing of Mary Poppins. It is adapted from the Disney movie (amazon affiliate link) but I was not prepared for how different it was. I asked in advance whether she could come with me despite the general “no kids … Continue reading »

Now, the cover touts that the book has “120 gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, egg-free, and soy-free recipes everyone will love” but that is not entirely the case because … Continue reading »

As you can see from the picture of me above, it is a fantastic hike and you get to see great views of Lake Mead as you go! Be warned, however, this is not … Continue reading »
May 5, 2012 was Free Comic Book Day and we made our way to my all time favorite comic book store, the Vegas gem Alternate Reality Comics!
