Life is too short to be standing still, so I want to visit as many places as I can. If that includes attending a hockey game with my Ducks, that's even better. I also blog about food trucks at www.lookingforfoodtrucks.com. Find me on most social media platforms under #CallMeMochelle
While having lunch at Carthay Circle, I decided to purchase the “Max” Fastpass, a new feature offered by Disneyland Resort. A regular Fastpass is free, but you need to go to the actual attraction location to get a ticket which will “hold your place in line”. The Max […]
Stephen’s birthday was last Wednesday, so to celebrate I took him to lunch at Carthay Circle, located inside Disney California Adventure. We had 12:30 reservations, but arrived too early. To kill time, we stopped for a photo with Goofy and then had drinks at the lounge. Upon checking in, […]
A Funko Pop collector’s dream!! Located on the 2nd floor of the mall, closest to BJ’s Pizza is this independent toy store. I walked in about 15 minutes before closing and was amazed at the inventory they had. Behind the counter they had the higher end items, such […]
My search for Funko Pop continues south of Orange County in Carlsbad. This small business is located inside the Carlsbad mall, on the 2nd floor next to Sears. The mall is sad and going though a facelift, and there’s plenty of construction to make it difficult to gain […]
Hidden gem!! I was leaving another Funko store and on a whim decided to stop here. I really didn’t think that this place would offer much, and I was very mistaken. The store wall is lined with Funko Pops, and even down the middle of the store are […]
We normally get something to eat in Vegas before heading back to SoCal, but decided to grab a bite in Baker instead. We looked up places to eat, and Baker has all sorts of fast food from McD’s to KFC, and then they have the “famous” Mad Greek […]
This State Park is located about 45-minutes outside Las Vegas. If you forget to fill up your tank, there’s a Chevron at the exit and the prices were 10c cheaper than Vegas. If you’ve been to Red Rock Canyon this is a must stop. It truly is Red […]
It’s another Vegas trip, and this time my stay is back at the Paris Hotel and Casino. I try to stick with the Caesar’s Entertainment properties now that most of the hotels on the Strip charge for parking. Since I am Platinum status, I can get free rooms […]
While driving from Southern California to / from Las Vegas, you’ll see this neon colorful rock formation standing in the distance just as you past or approach Jean, NV. This rock formation is an art exhibit by Ugo Rondinone that’s open until May 2018. Is it worth it […]
I was given comp’d tickets to see Slayer on Friday, August 4th through the HRC loyalty program “Backstage Pass”. I’ve never been to a show (or a heavy metal concert!) at The Joint, and figured what’s the worse that could happen? Self parking is still free, and since I […]
I stopped here with coworkers for lunch. The food isn’t the best I’ve had but the price is fair and you get soup plus a drink! I had the 2 item lunch combo, and chose 2 chicken enchilada (red sauce) and it came with rice and beans. The beans […]
WHAT? No Taco Tuesday at this location?? I wonder if this is a franchise and not owned by the corporation? Regardless, I came to the one located off Jamboree on a Tuesday evening and maybe it was good there’s no Taco Tuesday. The place was busy but not […]
I’m a new Funko Pop! collector and stumbled onto this while yelping for more Funko Pop! places to check out. What luck for me! Most people use this company because they ran out of display space. Well, I didn’t run out of space to display my new hobby, […]
Just when I thought my quest for those Funko Pop! toys was exhausted, I came across a great hidden gem! Unfortunately it’s located a block from LA’s Skid Row. Literally on the corner of 5th and Crocker is this amazing Funko Pop! store. Streets are lined with homeless […]
Cute little store right off the 405 freeway and Crenshaw, behind a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf store. Traffic can be bad trying to get into the drive way, and you may have to continue driving and then flip a U-turn to get back into the parking lot. […]
My quest to add to my growing Funko Pop! collection continues, and this stop is at Phat Collectibles in La Habra. I knew about this place for years, when they had multiple stores. It came to my surprise that they had to close their other location, and this […]
There’s so many Shabu places in SoCal, and yet Cal Shabu survives the test of time. I discovered the original California Shabu in Fountain Valley probably 15 years ago, after the original co-owner Taka, who worked at the Shabu Shabu House in Little Tokyo in downtown LA, opened his own store in […]
