Hiking Through the McDowell Mountains

Hiking through the McDowell Mountains. We never thought we would say hiking and McDowell Mountains and JD in the same sentence. Previously, we shared the story of JD’s initial hikes through her new surroundings in Arizona, and how her reluctance turned to a love to trek up rocky terrain and explore.  We thought we would check in on JD, and see what mountains she had (literally) conquered lately.  Her favorites are Camelback Mountain, and all of the trails through the McDowell Mountains. Her texts describe the feeling in her legs that hits even before she makes it back to the car. And then, let alone the next morning, but we are so proud of her, embracing her new climate and surroundings. JD is making the most of everything Arizona has to offer. #MoreToLife

Flash forward one year and I visit JD with my daughter. JD takes her up on her first mountain hike.

New Orleans: More Than What To See And Do

New Orleans is more than what to see and do. It's more than beads hanging off of street signs. New Orleans is tasting powdered sugar on the fingers, cobblestones that rise and fall with every step; big porches with small details. It's big music, marching through the streets and gentle hospitality.

Heisler Park, Laguna Beach

Heisler Park in Laguna Beach, California is a perfect stop along the Pacific Coast Highway. It's a perfect mix of tropical and wild beach. If you want to truly appreciate how beautiful a beach can be, visit it early in the spring, after a rare Southern California dark and cloudy sky. Any beach can look appealing in bright sunshine and blue skies. For the wanderer that seeks raw and wild beauty where ocean touches the land, this is where you go.

Blooming Flower Fields of Carlsbad

I dreamt I walked through the blooming Flower Fields of Carlsbad. A sea of pink, white, red and orange flowers in rows of waves as far as I could see. I stepped into a painting with the breezes blowing off the ocean and could see the ocean from atop the hill. I realized I wasn't dreaming. This was a dream come true.
