Glance Digitally - Travel the world with me virtually !

We stopped by for a visit to  Redmond Town Center  yesterday which is an Eastside's premiere two levels of outdoor shopping and resort-style center at Redmond, Washington State.  It was our 2nd Visit to this shopping center. It's a very nice atmosphere & fun to walk around with all the Christmas holiday decorations.  Unfortunately, there weren't many stores for much shopping. There are a few restaurants, but not really much to do. Maybe I visited on the wrong day. 🤔🤔 I could see a mini water fountain play area for young ones to splash around.   Ps: May be I'll visit some other time and write more about Redmond Town center.   - Stay Safe...

Our first time visit to North Bend Premium Outlets (part of Simon Properties) since we came to Washington state featuring a collection of most American traditional brands for you and yours sure to find impressive savings all year round. It’s great place to get clothes for kids, teens and adults.  Located at the east of Seattle, smaller compared to Gilroy outlet mall in California.  We went last weekend for Christmas shopping and it was very quiet and not at all crowded since we are still in the middle of Covid pandemic.  We hit stores like Eddie Bauer, Nike, Corning ware Corelle and Under Armor.   The mall is surrounded by mountains. It is the scenic view which attracted us to come here for shopping and enjoying the view of mountains while walking thru the stores where we shopped.  At the end of exhausting shopping spree, we treated ourselves with chocolate at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory since we didn't find any food court anywhere in

 I was going thru my travel photo albums for my blog when I came across an album of Legoland in California.  Although, I have been to Legoland many times since I have a son and loves building Legos till date. I wanted to share some photos and details of our Legoland 2- days trip ( we bought 2-days 3 parks Legoland hopper to Sea Life ticket Fast Pass) when we visited for the first time in 2010 during Christmas. We enjoyed and had such a great time a lot more than I thought we would so we have been frequently visiting Legoland since then. I'd say it's enjoyable for kids up to about age of 12, parents and grandparents. The park is generally packed with so many visitors, which should not have surprised to me as summer and winter holidays are the peak vacation for many families out of school.  Since recent few years on our frequent visit to this theme park , Legoland created an app and we were smart enough to be able to download their app on our phones, which allowed us to check for

Who doesn't love Chocolates? 🤩🍫 Since childhood, I had a sweet-tooth. I loved eating chocolates in India, My parents would get me chocolates regularly and coming to US especially California excited me to experience my all time favorite Ghirardelli. I frequently visit Ghirardelli Square, San Francisco which is a landmark public square with shops and restaurants.   Domenico Ghirardelli (founder), an Italian chocolatier in 1893 purchased the entire city block in order to make it into the headquarters of the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company division of Swiss confectioner Lindt. I would always buy collection of Chocolate bars, goodies,  boxes and baskets  from the  Ghirardelli Chocolate Shop  as gift to family and friends  before going to India for summer or winter holidays. ✈ My  favorite chocolates  flavors are  Milk & Caramel, Dark & Raspberry and Intense Dark 72% Cacao. There is another place in that building which is G hirardelli Chocolate Marketplace.  Whenever I visited th

A Mandir is a Hindu place of worship - a place of paramount peace . There are many famous Hindu temples in US and I love to visit especially if its within my reach. Since, I love travelling I visited this beautiful place few years ago known as Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, a Hindu Temple belongs to the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (also Known as BAPS ) located in Chino Hills , a city in the southwestern corner of San Bernardino County, California, United States.  This mandir completed its construction in 2012. It is situated on a 20-acre site with a 91-foot lotus-shaped pond featuring Shikhar, intricately carved domes with hundreds of hand-carved motifs. Amazing architecture both inside and outside of the temple. The inner sanctum of the mandir is enchanting, the entire room is made out of marble and it is filled to the brim with hand-carved motifs and sculpture work. Its known for first earthquake-proof Mandir in the world. Of course, there are some rules to foll
