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 […]
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 […]
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.

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 […]
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 […]
You’ll never run out of spots to hike in our amazing city of San Diego, and Annie’s Canyon Trail is a newer addition for a truly unique experience. Located in the San Elijo Lagoon Reserve, this area was once known as the “mushroom caves” and was closed to the public. Of course that didn’t stop […]
While the surfers and boogie boarders relish in high tide, our favorite beach time is when it’s low tide, and the sea creatures that are normally hiding underwater are accessible. There’s something magical about standing on the ocean floor when the ocean…isn’t there! What are tidepools? Imagine as the ocean retracts, leaving behind the rocky […]
