When The Hipsters go on vacation, they like to go right into the heart of danger. In this case it's not a hurricane or Nor'easter, but to a land that is in the ...
Some say Long Beach Island (LBI) is the French Riviera of New Jersey. Not a lot of people, but some people. Mostly drunk people. But, still. Truth be told, I'm ...
Sure some people go to Paris. Some go to the Caribbean. Some get all wacky and go on safari or to Iceland. Us? The Hipster family drives several hours to a lake...
The thing is, I grew up in Southern California. Los Angeles, to be exact. So when Hipster Parents took their retirement and moved to Laguna Beach a couple years...
