Even though it was months and months and MONTHS ago, today I wanted to share some photos from our weekend-long camping trip out in the Carrizo Plain. Last April, a bunch of friends decided to pack up our vehicles and head out towards San Luis Obispo (or SLO, for short) to camp out in BLM … More 8.14 Camping Out in the Carrizo Plain
July has come and gone, and here I am finding myself midway through the next month already! A new show I’ve been employed on has just started ramping up, and I’m having a great time working with a new crew and learning a lot of new things, because you know, technology is always changing and advancing. … More 8.11 July In Review
I’m a little embarrassed about how long it’s taken me to write these Death Valley posts…I mean we took the trip in MARCH for crying out loud! Do any of you out there have any advice for making the time to really sit down and write? Do you schedule it into your week or daily … More 7.28 Our Death Valley Weekend: Day Three
The month of June was somewhat of a hectic one, as we spent an entire week with our Marty in the Vet ER, and then lots of trips back afterwards for followup appointments. And then there was lots of dog sitting our favorites: Lucy and Banjo. In the midst of all the craziness though, we … More 7.14 June’s Lookback
Today I wanted to share a couple of photos from a hike my friend, Julie, and I did the other weekend! We summited Mt. Wilson — the first of LA’s Six Pack of Peaks Challenge. We chose to park at Mt. Wilson Trailhead Park (free street parking!) and took Mt. Wilson Trail up to the top and … More 6.24 LA’s Mt. Wilson Hike
Our second day at Death Valley didn’t start at the crack of dawn — since we had a long day of early driving the day before, we slept in til about 7am. Our hotel didn’t have complimentary breakfast (although it did have complimentary coffee!) so we did what any seasoned pro’s would do: we made … More 6.22 Our Death Valley Weekend: Day Two
This last month of May had me away from home for two different weekends, working a weird shift for a week while someone was on vacation, and taking advantage of new career opportunities. But in the hustle and bustle of it all, I really tried to focus on self-care this month … I’ve started running … More 6.12 May in Review
Today I just wanted to do a quick post to share some photos from our Anniversary morning spent at Balboa Island in Newport Beach. For our Anniversary last month, we had originally planned to go camping … but with Al’s nagging back injury, we decided that sleeping on the ground wouldn’t be such a good idea … More 5.30 A Morning on Balboa Island
I’ve been putting these posts off for way too long, and funnily enough, it’s not the writing that I’ve been putting off … it’s been the thought of having to narrow down my photos from the hundreds that I took, to just a few … that’s honestly the hardest part, ha! Death Valley, the largest … More 5.24 Our Death Valley Weekend: Day One
The month of April was full of reunions with friends, our two year anniversary, and lots of walks through our little neighborhood — marveling at all of the beautiful flowers in full springtime bloom! It’s been spent riding bikes in the morning and taking in beach sunsets in the evening, and soaking in all of … More 5.12 April’s Lookback List
