New Summer Fun at Knott’s Berry Farm!

I shared before in a post about Knott’s and how we are frequent visitors. It’s an affordable park, centrally located in Southern California, easy to get to off the freeways and big enough to keep a family busy an entire day. My kids will tell you that they go for the rides, but don’t tell them: our favorite thing is probably the boysenberry funnel cake! And then the rides. I also love to shop over in the Ghost Town and the kids swear dad cried on Ghost Rider. I’m sure it was just the wind in his eyes.

Confession aside, I can’t wait to go and see the new summer attractions! Not only are there three new rides in Camp Snoopy and new Snoopy entertainment, but the Calico Mine Ride has been redone! That’s one of my favorite rides there and I can’t wait to see what Knott’s has done to top their already infamous animatronic characters and scenery. It originally debuted in 1960 and rides like that were unheard of, so to see it fully restored is going to be a highlight of our day!

I first visited Knott’s when I was 13. I went on the ride with just my parents and we were new to California. Having hit up a ton of cool tourist locations, Knott’s stood out to me because I loved the Calico Mine Ride and the Corkscrew roller coaster.  (That coaster is no longer at Knott’s but now there is Boomerang and Xcelerator, two favorites of my kids…and Xcelerator is MY favorite ride, too. I’ll take a pass on that front car though. Did it once, I’ve met my quota.)

I’ll share photos that day on Twitter (you can follow me at DangerCupcake) of the rides and the shows. I’m looking forward to Snoopy on Ice — I’ve never seen it! I also want to be sure and snap some selfies with the Peanuts gang. (“I got a rock.” Classic Charlie Brown and a part of our normal conversation here when someone’s bummed. Try it next time, it lightens an upsetting situation!)

And you definitely have to eat one of these!

The Road to Hana is one of Maui’s most popular t The Road to Hana is one of Maui’s most popular tourist destinations…and with good reason. If you’re headed to the island, it’s definitely worth the time. Wear your bathing suit under your clothes, pack some water, snacks and a towel, and go on an adventure that will take you past some of the prettiest natural scenes you’ll ever experience. On the way back, get dinner at the Island Cafe — just head back before dark, as even the locals will tell you it’s best done during the day. The road is one-lane in 59 places, so it can be an exercise in patience. If you’re getting a rental, you’ll appreciate something smaller on this trip; parking can be tough, and there are tight squeezes in some of the turns. (Rental agencies also won’t cover incidents you may incur if you take the road all the way around the end of the island instead of turning around and heading home.) 

And if someone pulls up beyond you, waving and yelling, don’t get upset! The locals are beyond kind but they’re used to making the drive so they do this to ask that us slower drivers pull over so they can go around. (They’re not yelling anything bad, I promise! They just want to be sure they get your attention.) 

The drive may not be something you want to do on every trip, and it’s not necessarily great for kids after the first waterfall, but everyone needs to do it at least once.

Saturday night at the local craft brewery. Music. Saturday night at the local craft brewery. Music. Food trucks. This new Ukelele Baby kettle sour was SO good, with flavors of passion fruit, orange and pineapple is a new favorite! Inland Empire and Rancho peeps, give it a try, and maybe we’ll see you there!

Sushi is one of the prettiest foods out there and Sushi is one of the prettiest foods out there and one of our favorites. Our go-to place is Satsuma in Rancho Cucamonga. Great food, fun environment and top-notch service. And maybe some karaoke if you stay late. (Next time, I’m watching only 🤣)

Lighting is very much mood lighting, so photos are darker than I’d like but I really wanted to show off this plate! You cannot go wrong visiting Satsuma. Two seatings per night, reservations required.
