The Melting Pot: A Fondue Paradise

*I was invited to come in as a guest and check out The Melting Pot. All thoughts and opinions remain my own.*

Chocolate, strawberries, cheesecake, oh my! Who doesn’t like some good old fashioned fondue? At The Melting Pot, not only do you get an amazing meal, but a truly unique experience as well. If you love cheese and chocolate as much as I do, then you will surly be in heaven here! With quite a few locations to choose from in Southern California, there are also many others spread throughout the United States. Check their website above for exact locations in order to find your nearest fondue paradise. 😉

My local Melting Pot is in Brea, California.

My Adventures with the 2014 Forester!

Recently I had the pleasure to test-drive a 2014 Subaru Forester, which you can read more about in my previous post here: 2014 Subaru Forester, to find out more about this amazing vehicle, my experience, and what I think of it. Now I want to share with you about some of the fun places I was able to drive this safe, reliable, and fun car around town here in Sunny California.

The weekend I had the Subaru Forester it was very warm and sunny. Originally I was planning on taking a road trip with the Forester. However, I got invited to an event that I could not pass up that was taking place in Beverly Hills. Expo West (an all Natural Products Expo) was happening this weekend in Anaheim (the home of Disneyland) as well. With so much going on, I ended up staying around town in the Los Angeles and surrounding Southern California areas.

Come join me on my adventures with the Subaru Forester! 🙂

First stop, work! Hey, at least it was Friday! I had to make a stop at my local Starbucks for a special Friday treat and so I could wake up. It was a little chilly in the morning, but it quickly warmed right up. By the time school was out, I was so glad that I was driving the Forester. Air Conditioning, moonroof…? Two things my current car does not have!

Finally the weekend! Time for some fun! Off to Expo West I go! Recognize where I’m parked at? 😉 It is at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, CA if you couldn’t tell. I love the moonroof! Here you also see the sun shining brightly through it! With so many cars and people at the stadium, the EyeSight Driver Assistance came in extra handy here.

Later that evening, after the Expo, we went up to Burbank, CA, to the Walt Disney Studios to see an advance screening of The Muppets Most Wanted movie! I had a Press Junket to go to in the morning up in Beverly Hills for this movie, so I needed to see it first!

Disney California Adventure: Great Times & First Times

Disney California Adventure: Great Times & First Times

By: Erin

Going to Disney California Adventure or to Disneyland, you can always expect to have a great time. However, when you go with someone who has never been to Disney CA Adventure, AND you go with a fun group of bloggers, you will have the time of your life! Good friends and fellow bloggers Jamie from Minnesota Girl in the World, Mindy from Budget Fairy Tale and Jaime from Polka Dots on Parade all decided to head on over after the conference was done with for the day that we were here for. We were in the area attending the first ever Entertainment New Media Network Conference and we were just a hop, skip and jump away from the happiest place on earth, so how could we NOT make a trip or two or three to this magical place? It was Jamie’s first time to Disney California Adventure, which made this trip extra special.

We were excited to spot an Entertainment New Media Network vehicle in the parking structure at Disneyland! At the entrance to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. How I love Ariel! One of my favorite Disney Princesses.

Whether it is your first time to DCA or your millionth time, it is always fun to get your picture taken with all the balloons! Just ask a cast member and they will be happy to let you get this magical shot with all the super shiny and colorful Mickey balloons! =) Then you need to swing on by to Soaring Over California. That is a not to miss ride for any newbie to the DCA side. You will love all the sights, smells and delights of this ride! *Keep an eye out for a special “Hidden Mickey” on a golf ball at one point during the ride* 😉

One of the best places to take photos at is here in front of Mickey’s Fun Wheel. Mickey’s Fun Wheel is a 160-foot tall Ferris wheel that was inspired by Coney Island’s 1927 Wonder Wheel at Deno’s Wonder Wheel Amusement Park.
