Traveling to Central Pennsylvania for spring break

Off, off, and away! I took a red-eye east and landed in Central Pennsylvania with my daughter for a week of exploring the middle of the state. SFO Museum kept me intrigued with a display of historical information and artifacts all about San Francisco. It was a fun display, so don’t miss it if you fly through SFO!

I took a layover in Chicago and then continued on my way, landing just before noon at my destination. There isn’t enough coffee in the world for taking a red eye when you are middle aged. But I digress. . .

After picking up my rental car, I went to pick up my daughter, grab lunch and then check into our hotel. Thankfully the hotel has free coffee all day, so I indulged.

We got settled, took a walk, and then headed off to dinner! We enjoyed a delicious meal at Gigi’s Southern Kitchen in State College, PA. I had the blackened salmon, and my daughter enjoyed fried chicken. The decor is amazing, and the food is always delicious. Yummy!

After dinner, we relaxed in the hotel. After all, a red eye takes its toll, and my daughter was ready to crash since it was her spring break from school. I painted my nails, and we watched TV together. We were all set to start our adventures in PA the next day!

By the way, this topcoat is amazing. My manicure lasted all week long without chipping. Love that!

Stay tuned for my blog posts all about our trip!

SFO Museum Rosie the Riveter

 in Events / General Fashion / Travel  tagged art / lifestyle / sfo museum by

The SFO Museum always has amazing exhibitions within the San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The current exhibit in terminal 1 is Rosie the Riveter, and it is a must see!

As you know, women took over the jobs previously held by men during World War II. This not only helped our country during the war effort, it proved that women can do the same work as men. Love that!

This exhibit shows the work Rosie the Riveter accomplished during the war as well as what they wore and artifacts from the era. It is a nice history lesson to take in while waiting for your flight in terminal 1.

So, if you are flying from terminal 1 anytime soon, check it out! Or, if you are going through a different terminal, arrive at the airport early so you can walk over to terminal 1 and enjoy this important exhibit.

In addition to Rosie the Riveter, there are several other exhibits which are equally enjoyable throughout SFO. Check out SFOMuseum.org and plan your next visit!

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your holiday travels!

SFO Museum SF Opera A Centennial Celebration review

SFO Museum has a new exhibit in B Gates in the American Airlines terminal! If you love opera, this is an amazing opportunity to see a few SF Opera costumes up close and personal. The intricate details on the costumes is indescribable; and these photos do not do them justice. You must see them in person. I mean, what better excuse do you need to plan a vacation?

We all arrive at the airport so early these days, especially if we anticipate a long wait at TSA. It is so nice to know the SFO Museum has displays around the airport that we can enjoy, and often learn from, while we wait for our flight. I mean, why sit at the gate when you are about to sit on a plane for several hours? The walking is nice!

Whether or not you love opera, you will appreciate the beautiful details on the costumes, as well as the historical lesson about the San Francisco Opera! If you are visiting San Francisco, be sure to attend a SF Opera performance, you will enjoy it!

You can learn more about the SFO Museum at SFOMuseum.org.
