Our channel in 2023 and the future

We started Wonder About Us in 2023 as a way to document our lives and lifestyle. I’ like to think we’re unusual people and others would like to know what we’re up to and hopefully learn from, or be entertained by, us.

I’m not sure that’s happening, but we’re just getting started. A lot of 2023 was finding our feet and trying to learn how to create content and set ourselves up with skills for the future.

One thing I’d like to change is that we seem to be a little heavy on the cooking content, and, that makes sense. We’re not always out on some great adventure, but we do cook every day.

Now that I know how to make content, and have established a nice format, our plan is to spend 2024 getting into the swing of producing content on a regular basis. The idea being to do one video per week and fill in with shorts and posts on other platforms throughout the week. I would like those videos to follow a weekly release schedule.

  1. Cooking
  2. Travel/adventures in the field
  3. Home projects
  4. Art projects or other creative works
  5. Vlogs

I’d like to thank everyone for supporting us as we grow. Here’s our final video of 2023:

Griffith Observatory

We had some DVC points to burn before the end of the year, so we booked an overnight at Disney’s Grand Californian. With the crowds being what they are these day, a weekend at Disneyland isn’t the fun that it used to be, but a night at Disneyland puts us into day trip distance of Los Angeles.
In the time we had, we barely scratched the surface of Griffith Observatory, and plan on returning for a much longer visit. If you only have day there, plan on spending at least four hours, particularly if you’re going to see the theater shows.

Karalee makes some spicy chicken wings

We’re a couple who really enjoy good food. We’ve dined at white table cloth restaurants literally all over the world. But, despite all the wonderful cuisine we’ve enjoyed, it’s the simple things that we really enjoy – grilled cheese, hot dogs and chicken wings, to name a few.
Karalee found a spice packet in the pantry that we picked up somewhere long ago and used it to make some great wings.

The Skyways Hotel

On the way to our Baltic Sea voyage, we flew from Los Angeles to Dallas to London to Copenhagen. But, our flight out of LAX was early, so we stayed at the Skyways Hotel near the airport. On first blush, the place looking a little scary, but this was definitely one book not to be judged by its cover. A charming courtyard, a delicious restaurant and a lovely room make the Skyways Hotel a the perfect place to stay if you’re flying out of LAX at the crack of dawn.
