Rosie the Riveter National Historic State Park

 in General Fashion / Travel  tagged lifestyle / outfits / staycation by

Rosie the Riveter is an important part of our national history. Women came out of the homes during World War II to help build much-needed supplies for the war effort. This gave both women and minorities the opportunity to hold important jobs normally not open to them during peace-time.

There were a few different locations throughout the United States where Rosie the Riveter worked. One of those locations is right here in the San Francisco Bay Area in Berkeley. The Ford plant was turned into a factory for the war, and local women were able to obtain jobs there in order to help the war effort. It was an amazing operation which built important equipment for the war while giving people jobs normally not available to them. It’s incredible how efficient they were. The whole story makes me wish we still had the Ford factory in Berkeley!

The museum is extremely well done with excellent exhibits and informative movies. In addition, you can visit the various locations where everything was built and assembled throughout the area. Not only is it interesting and informative, it is in a beautiful location with views of San Francisco. Love that!

Whether you are local to the Bay Area or visiting, I highly recommend checking out our Rosie the Riveter museum. You can learn more at RosieTheRiveter.org.

The blossoms are out, and the scent of spring is in the air. This means it is time for spring outfits! Love this! For the spring season, Clara SunWoo has a fabulous collection of warm-weather-ready pieces which can be mixed and matched, as well as packed for travel.

The big thing I love about this spring outfit is that it easily folds up into a suitcase. Clothing from Clara SunWoo doesn’t wrinkle when folded into a suitcase and easily mixes with other pieces from my closet. This makes them ideal not only for everyday spring weather, but also for that spring break trip coming up! Love that!

Casual winter into spring day

It has been a cold winter. Normally we start to get spring weather in February, but it has been cold! Thankfully this top is slightly thick and has long sleeves. It has a spring vibe, yet keeps me warm enough where I don’t need a jacket. Love that!

I recently wore this casual outfit to Downtown Disney. We tried Jazz Kitchen Coastal Grill. It is a New Orleans themed restaurant with live music and a southern menu. It was so good!

I enjoyed blackened salmon over polenta, and I indulged in a soda. I normally don’t drink soda because of the sugar, but I was feeling a little wild and crazy, so I drank one! haha

Everything that was ordered and eaten at my table was a hit. I will say, they do not have good options for vegetarians. So, look at the menu first if you have a vegetarian in your party. They did make a special, off the menu pasta for our vegetarian, but you will have to ask. Otherwise, the food was excellent, and the vibe was fun. We really enjoyed the live music! So, if you are heading to Downtown Disney, I highly recommend!

Thanks for stopping by!
