Hi! I’m traveling to South Bend, IN to watch my pitiful UNC Tar Heels get blasted by Notre Dame this weekend (hey, basketball season is starting!). We are staying in Marion, IN on Friday night, driving up to South Bend for...

Some of the best blueberry scones i’ve ever had were from the Starbucks in the Anaheim Hilton. Never seen them anywhrere else. If you don’t like coffee buy one of their great new insulated water bottles that are made...
