Harbor Breeze Cruises – Holiday Boat Cruise Long Beach

One of the very fun things we like to do during the holidays as a family in SoCal is watch a Holiday Boat Parade. There are several and if you look up their routes, you could find a great spot to watch it from land. This year, we saw a 2-in-1 on the water with Harbor Breeze Cruises. On Saturday, December 13th, we set out to observe decorated boats for the Parade of 1,000 Lights in Rainbow Harbor with backdrops of The Queen Mary, then we cruised over to Naples Holiday Boat Parade and saw the parade from our boat. It’s so festive! We’re cruising to holiday music and wishing others in passing a “Merry Christmas!” … READ MORE >>

Review: Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream at Creamistry! | @CreamistryInc

This is written by Leyna Doan for Creamistry. We received samples for reviewing purposes. All opinions are our own. Images are by Leyna. I’ve had my fair share of bad ice cream. What’s considered bad? Ice cream that tastes icy instead of creamy! I have made ice cream before, so I know that when ice cream melts, and when you try to refreeze them over and over again, you get bad ice cream.

By the way, don’t … READ MORE >>
