About Me

Hi there! You found me. I’m Jasmine. I am an Orange County mom of two kids who loves to travel, find fun things to do with my family on the weekend while maintaining a full time job. I started this blog as a way to document my lust for travel and Southern California adventures with my family and friends. I have been to 35 countries, 19 U.S. states and counting. Let’s wander and lust the world together. Read more about me here.

🎄✨ Free Holiday Light Displays in Orange County! ✨🎄This has to be one of my all-time favorite holiday traditions! Each year, I make it a point to visit Dana Point Harbor to experience the magic of over 700,000 LED lights that transform the harbor into a sparkling wonderland. You’ll find incredible displays, including a giant whale sculpture, twinkling palm trees, enormous beach-ball-like ornaments, the iconic “Merry Kiss Me” arch, and so much more. The display runs through January 12, 2025, so there’s plenty of time to soak up the holiday spirit!Tip: The Happy Harbor Days and the the giant whales can be found across the street from Dana Point Seasonal Waterfall.What’s your favorite holiday activity?𝑺𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒕!📍Dana Point Harbor, 34571 Golden Lantern, Dana Point, CA 92629𝑯𝒊 👋 𝑰’𝒎 𝑱𝒂𝒛!
