We have absolutely fallen head over heels in love with Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. An easy 1 hour and 45 minutes drive from San Diego, it’s a must see day trip for the outdoors enthusiast. Almost 650,000 acres and 500 miles of dirt roads, there’s endless possibilities to even make it a destination in itself […]
Graffiti Shack Mission Beach. The Graffiti Shack on Mission Beach Jetty is one of those spots you can walk right by, over and over again for 20 years (yes, I did this!) and not even notice it’s there. Rumor has it that this random abandoned structure was once a bait shop. This was an awesome […]
San Diego Murals! Sure, San Diego is filled with nature’s beauty. But that’s not all. Did you know that all around town our streets are filled with amazing murals and street art? We decided to take a day last weekend and do a scavenger hunt of these incredible works of art in the La Jolla, […]
Did you know you can easily rent a Kayak or Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP) and within minutes be hanging out with Sea Lions? Well, now you do! While there are plenty of places to rent watersports equipment along Mission Bay (kayaks, SUP, jet ski’s, boats, pedal boats, etc.) there is a special hidden location […]
La Jolla Cove. When anyone comes to visit us in San Diego, we always recommend a day spent in the beautiful La Jolla Cove area. There is so much to do, and you are completely surrounded by nature’s beauty. You can easily spend an entire day here, or more, depending on what you […]
The La Jolla Secret Swings. They are kind of like Big Foot. Some people have never heard of them. But those who have heard of them whisper about their existence, their location, and even if they exist anymore. The swings are there. They aren’t there. They were there, but they’ve been cut off the tree. […]
As you may have guessed, we LOVE tidepools. Just cannot get enough. As with all tidepools, always check the tide charts and ensure you go at low tide, preferably a low low tide (in the negatives is best) to have the best chance to explore without worry of waves crashing in. What are tidepools? Imagine as […]
Whenever we have friends or family that visit San Diego, the first recommendation we give them is always Cabrillo National Monument area. It’s our classic San Diego attraction – beautiful, 360 views of San Diego and exploring. Can’t go wrong. You can spend a little time here or a lot, it’s really up to you…and we promise […]
At ages 7 and 10, our visits to playgrounds has come to almost a complete halt. I remember the days where very weekend and every vacation was hopping from playground to playground. Having outgrown most of them, there is one playground that truly has it all…and still resonates with the older kids. Relatively new over […]
So, we aren’t a big museum family. Our museum style replicates our affinity to the outdoors…the kids running around looking for shiny objects and moving onto the next, but we really don’t take the time to read all the amazing things in museums. We just kind of take it all in as a whole. This is […]
