THE WIND IN OUR SAILS: An Adventure in Redondo Beach, CA

Adventures

Jan 30

What happens when you put four photographers, their cameras and a bottle of wine on a sailboat? A really fun time! The Established California Team decided to head out on Saturday for a day out on the water in Redondo Beach. With help from South Bay Sailing, we were able to get out on the water, sit back and enjoy the wind in our sails. After lots of laughter, dancing and photos, we watched the sun set over the horizon and couldn't help but feel our hearts fill with love for our beloved California lives -- thankful to be sharing it with the best of friends.

Stonewall Peak: An Epic Day Hike near San Diego, California

This More-Than-A-Decade Old Camp Offers the Wild Isolation We All Need Right Now

Sturtevant Camp, just north of L.A., gets you off the grid and socially distanced from everyone except the deer. This 4-mile hike-in camp is over a decade old and completely run by volunteers. If you are looking to disconnect in nature, this is the perfect adventure for you.

FREE BIRDS: An Adventure in Downtown LA.

Rooftops, abandoned buildings, glorious lighting, fire escapes (complete with almost horribly gone moments with an all too clumsy friend), adventure and exploration at its finest—which you can confirm when, by day’s end, your already ripped boyfriend jeans are actually completely frayed to a point of no return.

Summer Fun at the San Diego County Fair

Summer is officially here and that means fun in the sun! One of my all-time favorite summer past times is spending time at the County Fair. What’s not to love!? Rides, games, concerts, animals, exhibits, festivals, and wacky foods that aren’t acceptable to eat any other time of the year. It is the perfect way to spend a summer day with so much to see and do you are bound to have a good time!
