Today: School’s Out for Summer Celebration

Posted on June 11, 2012 by Sarah Vernetti

I usually don’t write about upcoming events, but I couldn’t help but share this one. Today, Monday, June 11 from noon to midnight, head down to Fremont Street for all kinds of fun family activities…and help your local Vegas PBS station in the process. It’s all part of the School’s Out for Summer Celebration.

Experience the Flightlinez zipline attraction and the Fremont Street Experience, while meeting special guests including Curious George, BMX pro Ricardo Laguna and DJ BABYCHINO, the World’s Youngest DJ. Flightlinez and the Fremont Street Experience will donate the net proceeds from zipline rides on Monday, June 11 from noon until midnight to Vegas PBS.

Stop by at noon to see Curious George kick off the festivities and stick around for the fun. Zipline rides are $15 before 6 p.m. and $20 from 6 p.m. until midnight.

Head to 425 Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas to join the celebration. For more information about Flightlinez, call 702-410-7999.

How I Spend My Time When I’m Not Here

Posted on March 5, 2012 by Sarah Vernetti

Every blogger has a different opinion when it comes to post frequency. I’ve always tried to write 3-4 times per week, but lately it’s been more like 1-2. The good news is that I’ve been spending my time working on other writing projects and exploring!

First, I’ve become the blogger/writer for a non-profit organization that seeks to prevent child abuse and bullying. The blog isn’t up and running yet, but I’ve been reading, researching, and writing in preparation. (I’ll link to it once everything is ready. I promise!) I’m thrilled to put my writing skills to good use for a cause I believe in.

I’ve also been doing some freelance writing lately. You can check out the March issue of Desert Companion to read all about outdoor activities in Southern Nevada. I was pleased to contribute to the article about area parks.

Thirdly, I have a guest post coming up on another travel blog. I’m always honored when another blogger opens up their virtual home to me. I’ll be discussing how military life and travel go hand-in-hand.

So, that’s what I’ve been up to lately on the writing front.

Playing in the sand. Death Valley NP.

When it comes to exploring, I can’t wait to share our adventures with you! As I mentioned, we visited Death Valley a couple weeks ago and frolicked in the sand. Also, we went down to Mesa, Arizona this past weekend to see a Cubs spring training game. Stop by later this week (or next week if I can’t get my act together) to read about our baseball road trip.

Thanks for reading Wandering Off!
