Mean Girls, Big Brother and Fort Schuyler

Well hey there!!!

Sorry I was MIA yesterday - some personal things to attend to and I never got back in time to blog!  
But, I'm back today!

Well, it appears that me and Tanya are on the same wavelength, giving you some insight into our travel plans and itineraries!

As you will see, my dear cuz has detailed some of the fun places she will be visiting and dining at during her upcoming Hawaii trip!  

As for me, I'm slowly but surely getting some local, day trips on the calendar.

Let's look week by week:

This upcoming week we have three fun events on the calendar:

Wednesday
DINNER & BROADWAY SHOW
DINNER AT SUPERNOVA
MEAN GIRLS 
Me and the girls will be heading into the city for our long anticipated jaunt to see the Broadway Musical version of the popular 2004 American teen comedy film written by Tina Fey.

Kelsey has already been listening to the soundtrack!

Thursday
DINNER & BIG BROTHER TV NIGHT IN QUEENS
Me and the girls will be heading to Astoria, Queens to watch Big Brother, as the new season begins.  
I was never into this show, but the girls were BIG fans, as is my Aunt Ro and so by default, I began ton watch this reality show.

CBS has confirmed BB20 starts June 27th with 3-nights a week airing on Sundays (8/7c), Wednesdays (9/8c), and Thursdays (9/8c). 

With the new season beginning and entirely  new cast, we'll grab a relaxing dinner at one of the many restaurants in Astoria and then make our way back to Aunt Ro's apartment to cozy up and watch Big Brother!
​
Unfortunately, we cannot get together for the premiere, because we will be at Mean Girls, however, me and the girls will catch up on the premiere and catch episode 2 with Aunt Ro.

 

Saturday
FORT SCHUYLER & LUNCH IN THE BRONX
FORT SCHUYLER & MARITIME INDUSTRY MUSEUM 
LUNCH AT ICE HOUSE CAFE & RESTAURANT

You know how much I love history and military history is fascinating to me.  This should be a great day visiting one of the fortifications built to protect the Long Island Sound over 150 years ago.

Of course, knowing we have great lunch plans will give the girls more incentive to immerse themselves in some history for a while!!

I'm hoping to do a few fun things the week of July 1st before heading to The Hudson Valley Hot Air Balloon Festival!!!

​That's it for today - hope you have a fabulous Sunday!!

Hawaii in my sights

Hi there! Happy Sunday to you!

I find it funny that I really didn't have a ton of stuff to do yesterday and yet I was out running around and doing stuff for pretty much 12 hours straight!

Call me crazy. Call me nuts. But that my friends is a mellow relaxing day for me!

At least for me here on the mainland.

Today I figured that maybe you'd like a sneak peak at what I have planned for a place that takes relaxing to a new level...

Thanks to Elisa I literally just found out that access to the USS Arizona Memorial is temporarily suspended. Boo!
But what I just found out after she alerted me is that despite the restriction of visitor access to the Memorial, USS Arizona Memorial programs will continue as scheduled.

Instead of taking a boat to the memorial and disembarking there, visitors will be taken on a 15-minute narrated harbor tour of Battleship Row and the area around the USS Arizona Memorial. In addition, the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, museums, and bookstore are open as usual.

Well we will still forge ahead as planned and hopefully it will be open again by September and if not there is still plenty to see and do there at the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument.

Find out how my plans went BUST when we attempted to go to Pearl Harbor last year...

​
As for today we are currently heading the Arroyo Seco Music Festival!

It should be a fun day and hopefully not too hot!
I'll fill you in on all the scoop right here in tomorrow's DAILY SCOOP and be sure to check in on our social media pages for current up to the minute updates!

Lastly, I'll share a few pics from yesterday and our visit with sweet Dream and dinner at Golden Road Brewery.
