My dance mom friends and I jumped on the San Diego My dance mom friends and I jumped on the San Diego Taco Tour while we were in San Diego last week. 

We toured coastal San Diego and stopped at three of the city's most delicious taco locations, while enjoying the beautiful scenery in Barrio Logan, Point Loma, Ocean Beach, and Little Italy.

Our first stop was @saludtacos in Barrio Logan where I tried the Barrio and their Al Pastor; the Barrio being my favorite. They also have a great selection of cocktails of which I had their Hooch Horchata.

The next stop was @mikestacoclub in Ocean Beach. At this location I haf their Spicy Shrimp Taco and the Scallop Taco. Both, equally as good and paired with their spiked agua fresca.

Our final destination was Little Italy. The intent was to sample dishes at Not Not Tacos, but by then, we were full an on the search for Ice Cream. @saltandstraw did not disappoint. 

If you are in the area, I recommend taking the tour.  Luke is quite knowledgeable of the area and some of the nearby history, abd we had a blast.

WOW, what a weekend. Recital 2022 was a blast. Mel WOW, what a weekend. Recital 2022 was a blast. Melissa performed in 10 numbers across 7 shows from pointe to tap. I love watching her and her friends do their thing. 

Fun for mom, getting the back stage perspective watching the dancers support each other and cry together as the seniors and one of the teens take the recital stage for one last time. 

Quite a little dance family we have. Bravo to the performers  for another fantastic show, and to studio staff at @impactlosal for making it happen. 

Next up, Nationals. We're coming for you San Diego.

It's summertime, which means spending hot summer d It's summertime, which means spending hot summer days, cooling off at Knott's Soak City Waterpark. Plan for extra visits this year, as the Buena Park water playground hosts its longest season yet. Open May 21 through September 18, catch a ride down 23 different speed, tube, and body slides or take a relaxing trip down one of the longest lazy rivers in the country. (AD)

The 15-acre water park has something for each member of the family, an interactive kid's area, and for those more adventurous, The Wedge, a rip-roaring raft ride.

While Soak City has many lounge chairs scattered throughout the park, today we enjoyed time catching up with friends in a Cabana.

Most Cabanas can host 8-10 individuals and offer 4 lounge chairs, 4 club chairs with a dining table and umbrella, and 4 inner tube rentals. We also had a waitress available to order food for us from 11 to one hour before the park closed.

Additional food options include purchasing on your own, utilize an All-Day Dining plan or the All-Season Dining plan.

If you have a season pass, do not forget to join in the fun this summer at Ghost Town Alive! and Knott’s Summer Nights is included with admission to Knott's Berry Farm or with a special Knott's Hotel Summer Package. 

The best way to enjoy all the fun offered day and night throughout Knott’s summertime and the other Seasons of Fun is with a 2022 Season Pass. Get unlimited visits, food and merchandise discounts, plus so much more!
