Hawai'i has always been one of those destinations where I dreamed of going, but never knew when it could actually happen. Until it finally did last month. And my heart is still in Oahu, right where I left it. I've never felt such post-vacation blues as I have until this trip.
When I travel, I tend to pack the itinerary, filled with things to do, events to attend, and shows/games to watch—in between all the meals, of course. This time, I knew I had to take it easy, and I'm so glad I did. There were times where we didn't have anything specific to do, but was fully content with just lying, and sometimes even napping, on the beach because it is just that nice there.

Read MoreGet your ice cream-loving selves to the Museum of Ice Cream! It is filled with all things ice cream, and beyond: cotton candy, gummy bears, a whole lotta bunch of pink bananas. In other words, this is as close to feeling like California Gurls-Katy Perry as you possibly can.
There are currently three cities with MOIC: San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Miami. Each one is different, so if you visit the Los Angeles or Miami ones, it won't necessarily look like what I experienced here in San Francisco.
Read MoreSan Francisco, it's time to get your color on, if you haven't already! The Color Factory is extending their run here; so, if you missed out on tickets during the original run in August (and/or even missed out on the Museum of Ice Cream tickets; though they are extending their run through 2018 with tickets on sale this week!), your chance is coming right up at 11am PST tomorrow, Wednesday, September 13!
So what is this Color Factory, you ask? It's a two-story interactive exhibition [that] celebrates color and material. Each room has its own color/theme, like blue balloons, yellow ball pit, and more. You can spend as much time as you want in there, but note that once you leave a room, you can't go back. Knowing this, we took our time and had a blast spending an hour and half there.
If you'd like to see what to expect at the Color Factory before shelling out $32/ticket, keep reading and check out some of the photos from my visit!
