LOVE LOVE LOVE S'mores. We stepped up our game this year while camping and made them with Rolos or Andes Mints. They were so good, I love sitting round the campfire with people I love making Memories, telling stories and eating S'mores. ...

 Spent a week in Tahoe, went to Sierra At Tahoe and Diamond Peak. 

Only 24 hrs spent in San Jose for work, but loved the hotel and area. Very excited to come back and visit for longer! 

If you have ever been to Kauai you will see all these roosters just roaming around wild. So everytime I am there, I get a nice wake up call from them as soon as the sun comes out!!

 Mauna Kea is an observatory at the top of a mountain on the Big Island of Hawaii. You have to go stop at the visitors center which is at 9,000 feet to climatize yourself before you go to the peak which is 14,000 ft. Typically the night ...

Even though I am super scared to swim in the ocean because of my fear of Sharks, while we were in Hawaii, I got to swim with sea turtles and it was just Amazing. They are such beautiful creatures and getting to swim with them in their na...

We went to Luau at the hotel on our annivesary trip, it was a really interesting and fun experience.

 AMAZING!!! We saw several shooting stars lying out on the beach each night in Hawaii, here's hoping my wish comes true!!!

The sunsets in Hawaii were amazing!! We got to watch them together every night. It's funny but as cliche as it sounds this was such a romantic thing to do together each evening. 

We got to the park just as the sun was setting as this is suppose to be the best time, however it started to pour with rain and it was really hard to see the Volcano. I would definately like to go there again.

Every night in Hawaii we would go down and lie on the cabanas and stare into the darkness and talk to each other. I loved doing this, it made me feel so calm and at peace.  

Lying in a hammock with my husband on our anniversary in the pitch black, staring up at the stars! Just a great moment in my life.

I have always loved visiting Castles and Historical sites, the Tower of London was great. The beefeaters giving the tours were hilarious!! Loved seeing all the armour and jewels. With Mum and Hel 

We flew from Brisbane airport late at night on August 8th and arrived in Honolulu in the morning of August 8th. So we got to spend a whole day in Australia on the 8th and the live it again in Hawaii on the 8th. Very cool! 

This is sign is actually found by the Byron Bay lighthouse. I really recommend doing the Lighthouse walk, to get to it. Best to go here for sunrise or sunset! 

Currumbin is awesome!! If you are in the area, you must go!! They have everything there, you can hold a Koala, feed Kangroos, feed cassowaries, see crocodiles, dingos, tazmanian devils. They have a hospital there too, to help animals get...

I was pretty scared at first as an Emu was blocking the gate, as I was trying to get into the area to pet them. Eventually someone else came to the gate and just opened it and the Emu moved. I then just walked over and pet him and he did...

This was so cool, while down in OZ with my family I just fell in Love with Koalas, they are so Damn cute!! I got to hold one at the wildlife sanctuary named Rocky, he was so adorable, I wanted to take him home. 

The Kangaroos are just out chilling on the grass enjoying the sun, you can just go up to them and pet them and feed them. It's super cool! Only place I have been where you can be that close.

Port Douglas, Sunday Market. With Mum, Dad and Doodle. They also mashed it up after with Banana and Honey. YUMMY!  

We spent a day driving through Daintree Rainforest to Cape Tribulation. Beautiful!! With Mum, Dad and Hel

We went to a crocodile farm that breads crocodiles to be made into purses, it was very interesting hearing the story but made me sad that crocodiles are killed for fashion. The crocodile farm was so cool though, lots of crocs to get up c...

We did a family reunion down in OZ, first time we had all been together in 2 years. Spent 3 weeks with my family in Byron Bay and Port Douglas. Mum, Dad and Hel 

This was my second time at Yosemite and the falls were flowing full, I hiked up to the top of the lower falls to see where the upper falls let out. I love waterfalls and this was so cool being in the middle of the two. It is slippery cli...

We just went out to The Westin Lake Las Vegas for a couple of hours to see how it was. The hotel was nice and seems like a great place to stay for a relaxing retreat. The Lake looked a bit murky though. 

We did a mini trip to Vegas for 3 nights and I got a great deal online. Ceasars Palace is an awesome Hotel to stay at, I would like to stay at all the hotels on the strip. New Goal!

Gambling is one of my favourite things to do, however I can only go a couple of times a year, as I seem to loose more than I win. I would love to stay at this hotel sometime.

We went to the Pentagon in 2002 and security was really tight. We had a funny situation as they told us we could take pictures or videos as long as we didn't get any uniformed personnel in them. So as we are walking around my dad is vide...

  We had a box at the Staples Center and went to see Tina. Wow I hope I can move like her when I'm her age. It was an Excellent concert and night. The Box was so cool, had our own butler and everything. Erin, Dana, Kathy - Summer 2009

When I was a kid, we would go watch the local BasketBall team at the leisure center, every Saturday night. They were called The Worthing Bears and we loved them, we knew all their names and all the dances the Campion girls would do in th...

Circus Tour at the Staples Center. We had amazing tickets and the Pussy Cat Dolls opened for her. It was a great girls night. Erin - 2008 

For my birthday this year we went to Utah for a week to go Snowboarding. We stayed at this great lodge right on the Mountain. We loved it so much, I think we will do something like this each year. John, Jason, Rosa - Snowbird Jan 2015

I have been to a few outside music Festivals but my Favourite was Vegoose in 2007. Daft Punk was there and they were amazing, put on such a great show. Love to see them again. Marcio, Josh - October 2007 

I got to go to Honolulu twice last year. The first time was amazing we had so much fun and we partied hard. Definetely one of my happy places. Could live here one day for sure, if the hub wasn't so boring!  Allie, Shad, Dan - May 2014 My...

  Whoever came up with was a genius, Melted Chocolate, Roasted Marshmallows and Graham cracker all in one. We made these around the campfire in Yosemite it was such a fun night. Can't wait to do this when I have my own kids. John, Sam - ...

Girls afternoon at the London in West Hollywood. Tea, cakes, sandwiches, champagne, girl talk. Carol, Jo, Kristina, Jenn, Pearl - November 2013 

Again it was so hot, over 100 degrees. It was amazing to see all the graves and how perfectly they were lined up. We of course had to see JFKs grave and the Flame. Mum, Dad, Hel - Summer 2002 

  This was actually a little scarier then I anticipated, I was nervous of shooting someone else. I was not very good at it due to this. Will have to try another time when I'm not being such a baby! Mum and Claire, Oakhampton, April 2012

  My sister and I had our faces painted when we went to the San Diego Zoo. We walked around all day like 2 little kids, she was a Tiger and I was a Cheetah. October 2011  

This was with some girlfriends at one of my Favourite restaurants The Melting Pot, we had a 4 course meal which included 2 different Cheese Fondues and 2 different Chocolate Fondues. They also had amazing cocktails. Have been back severa...

Went to my first book signing in Hollywood at a Borders before they were gone. It was for Tim Gunn, from Project Runway and he was adoreable. I got so excited he called me Tiger! 

  I did this in Florida back in 2002 with my dad, it was amazing. Would love do this again one day when we go to the lake.

First time I went to Times Square it was day time. It was really busy and had lots going on. But the next time I went was at Night time and it was so alive. Everything was lit up and we just lost hours doing things, we couldn't believe h...

Unfortunately, it was so busy that we couldn't really get a good look or picture. I will try go again when it is not peak tourist season. Mum, Dad, Hel - Summer 2002

It was really cool to see this, I remember seeing it for the first time on Forrest Gump when I was a kid. The day we went was 100 degrees and it was too hot to be walking around and the water really smelt bad. It was like sewage, I could...

  I did this with my mum on my 18th birthday trip to NYC. It was freezing cold and kinda smelly, no on tells you that but was so fun. Would love to do this with the hub one day, if I can ever drag him to NY.

Took a trip with my mum for her 60th birthday to Albufeira Portugal. We stayed for 5 days in a 5 star hotel on the beach. Loved it, we went in April so it wasn't tourist season.  Mum - April 2014

  Went here on a work trip with a friend. We had breakfast at Pike Place and then went over to starbucks for a coffee, I love how they have kept it to how it originally looked. December - 2013

I am so thankful that I have my Husband to Kiss every New Years, but I remember being young and single and hoping there would be someone I like who wanted to kiss me at midnight! 

  Leaving my boring office job of 6 years was the best decision of my life. Having a job that you love and enjoy is one of the best things in life. Don't get me wrong I still have those days, where I just don't want to go where ever I am...

We went Camping at Yosemite last year, it was my first time there and my first time camping in a tent. I loved it, we are going again next month. So excited to see everything again. We went in July last year and the falls were dried up, ...

  It was for work so didn't get to explore to much, but what I saw was beautiful. Several future trips there I hope. VancouverJan 2014

We went out on one of the Newport Beach ones, it was a group of 6 girls and we had so much fun. After Dinner they have dancing. Such a different night out with the girls. 2010 

  I have been lucky enough to fly first class on Virgin Atlantic several times. It really is the best way to fly, you feel really exclusive and can actually get a good nights sleep.

I have eaten at a few different ones but the first time was at Samba in Redondo Beach with my old roommate. We went on a Saturday and they had all these Samba Dancers come around in their glitzy outfits. Think I might do a birthday dinne...

When I first moved to LA in 2003, I carved my first pumpkin. I have carved one every year since. Unfortunately, when I was growing up in England this wasn't a common thing to do but of course as most things, they are now foloowing the Am...

  I have been a bridesmaid twice so far. Once when I was 6 for my Aunt and Uncle and the second time was for my best friend in 2012. It is always so fun to be part of a wedding, all the planning and traditions.

You can't go to Wisconsin and not eat cheese 

Didn't get to see a game but the atmosphere outside was amazing! Will go back and watch a game next time I go, maybe with my mum if still in season then! 

Oh my gosh I loved the Elephants, they were so cute. So much to see here. We got our faces painted and had a great time! With Hel and Kat in October 2011

When I went it was so windy, I thought I was going to be blown away. Great bars and photo opps of the city, go just before the sunsets. It is well worth it!

Yummy had so much of it ... Looking forward to my next one. Fav spots Giordanos and Lou Malnati's

It was raining the day I went, we still sat outside on the top of the boat! Great tour and guide. I took so many pictures. Would be fun to do this again. As I always say LOL 

Amazing view of the whole city! I went up alone as my friend was scared, stand on the glass platform and look below, it was pretty intense, especially as some teenager jumped on the glass when I stepped in! Next time will go at daytime, ...

I have been lucky enough to travel a few times to NYC, it is an amazing place and I plan to go back many more times!

Even though it is just a short boat trip from where I live, it could not feel more different. Catalina actually reminds me of being in Europe. I only went for the weekend but would love to go for longer and maybe camp there.

It is a really bizarre feeling to be driving down the street and come across people riding in a buggy. It is almost like stepping back in time.  Spring 2009 with Nat and Ange in Pennsylvania, Amish Country!!

I didn't think I was going to like this but it is actually really good. I had a slightly different version at a local spot in Ala Moana in Honolulu. I had the Hawaiian Loco Moco from EggsNThings .

Anyone who knows me, knows I am a HUGE Elvis fan! This was so cool, loved seeing where he lived and how he lived. I will always love him and his music! Long live the KING!! With my Mum and Sister, Summer 2006. while in Memphis visiting f...

I was given a pass to the magic castle in Hollywood, so we went for my 30th birthday. The food was amazing and the Magic Shows were out of this world!! I still can't believe some of the stuff we saw, and we were in a small theatre in the...

My husband gave me a gorgeous ring for my 30th birthday! 

For my 30th Birthday, I got to drive a Jaguar around town for a week. How cool! It now made me realize how badly I want one sometime in the future. It also made my Dad so jealous he went out and bought one LOL 

If you visit Yosemite in the summer, you will be so hot, you will want to swim anywhere you see water. This was so refreshing and there were deer drinking from the lake while we were in there. Talk about being in Nature!!
