We loved tenting. We loved getting in our 2008 Toyota 4-Runner to go camping everywhere. Her name is Betsy. She took us on many memorable trips. All the way from San Francisco, to many national parks, beaches, and mountains. We loved Betsy. But, the reality of a growing family left us no choice than to [...]
If you are in the Temecula area in California, make sure you stop by this quaint little gem. The atmosphere, the people, and the wine! the wine! -- Yep. I had to make a little video of it. Check it out. https://www.chapinfamilyvineyards.com https://vimeo.com/536575494
Weekend pick number 6; a place that we would've never thought about going. But, thank you @alltrails app, which is what I used to come up with all the places in the jar. Oh! and thanks Jacquie for picking it also. Jacquie came to visit from Seattle and got tasked with randomly selecting our 2021 [...]
We visited this gem in January this year; and I fell so in love with it, that I needed to come back to capture it. This is a beautiful and peaceful retreat in the mountains of Julian, CA. It's perfect for a much needed getaway, away from daily chaos of life and the societal noise [...]
Have you ever felt like a tourist in your own town? Thats how we felt when we went for a quick walk at the Balboa Park Garden Loop in San Diego. It had been a long while since we visited the area. If it wasn't for the random weekend pick project, we probably had not [...]
OK- so we didn't randomly pick this one. But we found this gem through HarvestHosts Membership. We love being members of @harvesthosts! This weekend, we visited and stayed at this amazing winery. This beautiful gem in Ramona CA, has great atmosphere and delicious wine. The owners Sue and Doug not only make the wine, but [...]
This time we had Sandy not only pick our local adventure, but joining us. We ended up at Coast to Crest Trail. It was our 1st time there. This trail *really* stood out from the rest in a very “urban” way. San Diego never ceases to impress Thank you so much Sandy for joining us! [...]
This week the Baby did the random picking and Blanca got lucky. Maggie Houlihan Memorial Dog Park is an amazing dog park located in Encinitas California. The park was closed for a long time. We had not visited since early 2020. Great pick Baby A! After reviewing the footage, I'm not sure who was more [...]

I really don't think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don't mind the failure, but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself if I didn't try.-Nikki Giovanni One of those things I just had to do. Spoiler alert: I failed. 🙂 https://vimeo.com/274288294
Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.-Harold Thurman Nature, travel, coffee and spending quality time with family; that’s what makes me come alive. But, deciding what to do every weekend, sometimes can be [...]
2020 was a tough year. But I can't say 2020 was the worst. It wasn't. We spent time with friends and family, Tom climbed Mt. Whitney, I met one of my favorite writers Cheryl Strayed, and we welcomed our baby girl to this world. I will say; It definitely was one of the toughest years—mentally [...]
