February is a big month. First, Valentine’s Day, now a trip to Big Bear in the Angeles Forest, California. Now, this is a big deal for me. Josie and I have been together for a year and a half and I have yet to go anywhere with her family....

A Valentine’s Night to Remember
It can be tough getting time alone with the one you love. Especially when that one you love has three children (they are great kids, by the way). So, when we had time without kids, you better believe we were going to make the most of it. And we...
Los Penasquitos Canyon Trail
Time for Josie and I to go on another hike. I have worn my new boots at work so they were pretty much broken in. Josie had not worn hers since our last hike so I thought it was going to be Blister City for her. But blisters and...
“Everything Is Awesome…” – Our Trip to Legoland
Josie, my girlfriend, used to work at Legoland in Carlsbad, California. She made some really good friends there, including her old boss. She is always looking to do things with her kids and decided it might be nice for them to go spend a day there. So she called...
Iron Mountain Hike
Well, it has been a while since I had a post but that’s because I went on vacation. Actually it was more of a “stay-cation”. I stayed at home and slept a lot. I did put in a lot of exercise but I did take it easy for the...

That title is a little misleading. I actually hate Los Angeles. There are too many people, too much traffic and it is way too big. But I do like the song, so I decided to use it in the title. And that’s what I did this past weekend. I...
This Weekend, Part 3: Hiking to Potato Chip Rock
Well, the title is no longer right. “This weekend” was actually last weekend but last weekend was too long to kill in one post (read This Weekend, Parts 1 and 2). So “This Weekend Part 3” was last weekend because it was too long and ran past the real...
This Weekend, Part 2: California’s Most Haunted House: That Whaley House
I love anything to do with haunted places. I have taken ghost tours all over the country: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Chicago and New York just to name a few. And I am always interested in visiting places that have been known to be haunted. Now, that does...
This Weekend: Where Do I Start? Part 1
I had a great weekend. In fact, it was such an awesome weekend, I am probably going to have to break it up into three different posts. That is because I did things I have wanted to do since I moved to San Diego. What really set me off...
