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 […]
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, […]
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. […]
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 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 […]
