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 […]
The Slot Anza-Borrego Desert State Park The Slot in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is one of the must see destinations when visiting this area. 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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
We spent 10 days in Ireland and Rock of Cashel was one of the highlights. Rock of Cashel is one of the few places Chad passionately shared that was on his Ireland bucket list, and with good reason. While it’s one of the most popular historic sites in Ireland, even in the peak of July, […]
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 […]
About 6 or 7 years ago, I declared that on our 10th wedding anniversary we were going to do a “Trash the Dress” photo shoot. About every year we do a family photo shoot, and I wanted to commemorate our decade in marriage, have an opportunity to wear my wedding dress again, and hold myself […]
