One of our favorite places to visit in Orange County California. This idyllic Southern California beach County is a wonderful place to bring kids and has plenty of fun in the sun for everyone to enjoy. Here are a couple of things you should be sure to check out if you ever find yourself in Orange County and are looking for some adventure. Historic Orange CircleThe location of many of our favorite movies (That Thing You Do, and others) the Orange Circle is one of the most beautiful and quaint cities in the county. Boasting Chapman College and many lovey restaurants, the orange circle are one of our favorite places to go antique shopping and stop to get some pizza. If you are ever in the area we love the bar Paul’s. It is a bit of a dive bar but has a charm that takes me back to the ’80s, back to my hay day of college Laguna Beach The one from the TV show! Burt really laguna beach has some of the most stunning landscapes in the whole of southern California. It’s no wonder that this area quickly became very expensive to live in and thus has a bit of a snobby vibe if you don’t know where to go for the best stuff. We definitely recommend the beach locally called “Thousand Steps” because Laguna is high in elevation most of the beaches are down a cliff and can only be accessed by taking long stairs all the way down to the sand. Thousand Steps is one of our Favorite spots because of its relative reclusive it usually not too crowded. And if you have ever been to a southern California beach, then you know how crowded it can become. Just be sure you are ready for the long walk back up the thousand steps when you are ready to go home! Laguna Beach is one of our favorite spots to go to also for the Sawdust Festival, just be prepared for outrageous prices The OC Fair Another place to go if you are in the mood for some kitschy fun is the local Orange County fair. While this fair has all of the normal things you could imagine from a fair there is also a sort of swap meet in the other parking lot where you can buy all sorts of fun and goofy items like hand-woven rugs and sculptures that were made by peoples small businesses. And if you need to go to the restroom, don’t worry, because they have plenty of Porta Potties in the back that you can use to relieve yourself. Disney LandWhat best of Orange county list would be complete if I didn’t mention Disneyland! That’s right, on top of the beautiful beaches and historic cities, there is always the lovely (and expensive) Disneyland! Now there are thousands of articles online about Disney so I don’t need to go into a ton of depth here, but suffice it to say that if you are looking for some fun rides and to get down with Micky and the game, then Disneyland is your best bet. But if you are more of a local then you might want to check our Knotts Berry Farm, that’s more of the local spot. But that is a subject for a different blog post altogether!
 We went over to visit my niece the other day and stay at her beautiful country home in Fort Worth Texas. There, she and her husband raise a few dogs and chickens and have just the most wonderful home. Her Husband Shane is a local piano tuner and we got to talking about some of the old instruments they have in their garage and that lead us down a very interesting rabbit hole about the differences between grand pianos and baby grand pianos. So I wanted to through together a post about this because I found it very interesting. The first thing that you should know is that both pianos have eighty-eight keys standard so they don’t skip out on any octaves and they can both be played into a full spectrum of sound. The second thing to keep in mind is that both grand and baby grand pianos have the same standard width. So really the only difference between the two is the length. The part of the piano that goes behind the keys. Or from the keys to the back of the piano. Now, this is where the differences start to change the pianos dramatically. Because there is not just two sizes for grand pianos. There are nine-foot grand’s, concert grands, and even very small “grand” pianos that are only four or so feet in length and could easily fit inside of person’s small apartment! So this got me thinking about an experiment that we could perform on Shane’s different size pianos that he had in his garage. And to see if I could tell the difference in a blind test without knowing which one was which.  Shane said i would be able to tell right away what difference was because the size of the strings plays such an important role in the sound quality and size of the sound that is made by the instrument. One major difference, he said, was that the length of the strings would make a much “fuller” sound because of the overtones you can get from the longer strings. But interestingly, you can actually get a much softer and more delicate sound from the larger size pianos than the smaller sized pianos because of not only the length of the strings but the length of the hammers and all of the moving mechanisms inside the piano. With the proper technique, a large grand piano can sound much more gentle than a short baby grand.
This extra color in the sound is caused by the longer strings having more surface area to pick up the vibration of the note you hit and these vibrations can also slightly shake the strings that are in tune with the not you just played. Creating that full and warm sound that you hear when a large grand piano is played. The larger the housing and length of the strings the more opportunity for that note’s sound to vibrate those other strings and give a great overtone sound. So we decided to have some fun and play the two pianos for me and my husband and see if we could tell the difference. And after he had explained to us the difference, we could tell immediately! It was incredible how different the two pianos sounded when played with that knowledge in mind. Really great demonstrations and we had a lovely time visiting them and talking shop with Shane about grand pianos and his Piano Tuning Business. Check him out if you are ever in the area, he really knows his stuff!  Zip Line Above the Royal Gorge.Colorado Springs is home to one of the countries highest zip lines, and it is an experience that you must not miss if you visit. This 1,200-foot canyon near Canon City has one of the largest suspension bridges ever built on its crest providing stunning views of the scenic landscape around it. In 1929, the bridge was commissioned to be built and the foundations of what would later become. Soaring 1,053 feet above the river, this zip line and tram form the center of a large Royal Gorge Theme Park, This is one Mountain Adventure you and the family will never forget. Gods Market And Cafe One of our favorite spots to eat is God’s Market and Cafe. this restaurant is unique in that it also hosts cooking classes and drink tastings that make for great get-togethers for friends looking for a more hands-on experience. On to that their food and cocktails are wonderful. We are particular fans of their avocado toast. Its a perfect lite breakfast for someone who is on the go and still wants to get going for the day. But if you are in the mood for something a little more indulgent, their Market Benedict is heavenly as well. Located conveniently in the center of the city, God’s is a great place for family and friends to gather together and have a great meal in a cozy environment. Salt Grass Steak House If you are looking for a great steakhouse, then look no further than Salt Grass. This old school western style grill house is a blast from the past. Serving great selections of meat and appetizers it is one of the great American steak houses in Colorado Springs. And if you are craving seafood, they have you covered too. They have one of the best surf and turf in the whole city and we personally love they’re grilled shrimp as an add-on to their already amazing Gulf Coast Steak. They also use a professional hood cleaning service, so you know that their kitchens are always in tip-top shape. Check them out at their location for some great bbq and steak. These are just a few of our favorite spots that we always like to stop by when we visit Colorado Springs, and we love to share our adventures with you so that you can make an informed and great decision about what they do with their time during a vacation. You can count on us to give you our tips and tricks in all the cities we visit. So keep checking back for more of our travel tips!
