If you are looking for some great nightlife while visiting the Vancouver, BC area you can’t miss the Gastown District. It’s filled with some neat architecture, bars, shops, and of course swanky restaurants. When we visited the area last fall, we were looking for somewhere to enjoy some good hearty pub food, and sip on some fine brews.

Safe Dog Travel with Bergan Pet’s Dog Auto Harness
Safe dog travel in the car is a hot topic these days among many dog owners. After the state of New Jersey passed the “Pet Buckle Up Law”, it’s become a focus of many pet product manufacturers as well. Why shouldn’t we keep both our pets and drivers safe while in the car? Did you know that unrestrained pets cause 30,000 car accidents a year? We decided to take a look at what one leading manufacturer was doing to make sure we were keeping our two dogs safe while we road trip across the country. Bergan Pet Products kindly supplied us with a pair of their dog auto harnesses to test and review.
Things to Do in Miami : A Day at Zoo Miami- A Review
Being avid animal lovers we enjoy nothing more than an opportunity to spend time checking them out. Being South Florida locals, that normally means dodging alligators in the local pond, or staying away from giant iguanas. Whenever we need a break for our daily lives and we are looking for things to do in Miami, we love to take a trip down to Zoo Miami. If you’re visiting South Florida and looking for family friendly fun, or just different types of animals than the ones you find on South Beach, we strongly suggest a visit to Zoo Miami.
Voodoo Doughnuts, Portland: America’s Best Doughnut?
There are a lot of good doughnuts out there, trust me, I’ve eaten my fair share of them. When it comes to “everyday donuts”, you have your classics like Dunkin’, Entenmann’s, and the quintessential purveyor of hot and fresh melty delights, Krispy Kreme. Occasionally though you want something more, something special. You go out looking for the doughnut that leaves you wondering whether you just ate a doughnut at all or something entirely different. You have to seek out that special shop that comes along and decides to push the envelope. I’ve found that shop. Heck in this case they’ve taken the old envelope, shredded it, burned it, and then scattered the ashes. If you haven’t tried a Voodoo Doughnut yet, you need to skiddaddle over to Portland, find the original location, and eat one of America’s Best Doughnuts RIGHT NOW!
Our Review of the St Clair Winery and Bistro – Albuquerque, NM
Wine at noon!?! Yes, please! :) Kenin and I spent a morning walking around downtown Albuquerque, NM enjoying the sights and doing a little shopping. We then went looking for a brewery to visit when we came across a flyer for the St. Clair Winery and Bistro. It was surprising to find a winery in New Mexico, but we were intrigued. We decided to make a quick change of plans and visit the winery before hitting the Marble Brewery and we were glad we did. Here’s our review of the St. Clair Winery and Bistro.
