About an hour and fifteen minutes from coastal San Diego, the Boulder Park Mystery Caves and Desert View Tower make for a quirky and fun half-day trip for families who likes to explore and climb. This also makes a great roadside stop to stretch your legs if you are driving to or from Arizona, something […]
Where else can you explore a beautiful nature trail, see countless lizards scurrying about, beautiful views of the city, enjoy living breathing street art, blissful solitude (we only passed one other family the entire time)…OH, and enjoy the creep factor of walking around a former Nazi compound right here in California?! Yes, you read correctly. […]
If you live in California, chances are you’ve been to San Francisco plenty of times. We’ve visited several times and hit up all the recommended visitor spots…Alcatraz, Pier 39, Ghirardelli Square, Cable Cars, etc. When we were making a quick visit for a dance competition, I decided it was time to check out some San […]
While San Diego itself has SO much to do, as you know we are always up for a little day trip adventure, and it was finally time to explore Eagle Rock! This incredible trail along the infamous Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) is perfectly named as you arrive at your destination to encounter an uber climbable […]
Wind Caves Anza-Borrego State Park Just thinking about our visit to this magical spot gives me goose bumps. Part desert, part walking on the moon, part teleporting to the Badlands, this hidden gem blew us away. A short hike, easy for most anyone, takes you on a 1.25 mile (round trip) adventure to a large […]

Anza-Borrego is an incredible day trip destination, worthy of taking a full day excursion, as it’s just a 1 hour 45 minutes drive from San Diego. Check out our blog post […]
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 […]
We frequently travel to Arizona. Mostly it is her Irish Dance competitions (many times just Sydney and I) that bring us there, so we take advantage of the opportunity to explore the natural beauty that is so prevalent in this state! These days, we find ourselves driving to Phoenix versus taking the short 1 hour […]
In late November, our Arizona road trip took us to the small and relatively unknown town of Page, Arizona, home of one of my travel bucket list items, Antelope Canyon. This town is about 9.5 hours from San Diego, which seemed like a long way to travel for a 1 day experience. However, when paired […]
