On our most recent trip to Palm Springs, my inlaws drove up from San Diego to meet up with us. We spent the evening together eating, riding the tram, and hiking the beautiful Indian Canyons on the outskirts of town. We had a full evening planned, therefore, we opted to take the short and easy Andreas Trailhead. Surrounded by harsh desert, the Andreas Creek flows through creating the worlds second largest oasis of California Fan Palms. Hiking the canyon gifted us with incredible views of the oasis and rock formations as well as sycamore, cottonwood, and will[...]

We've been to Venice Beach in California more times than I can remember. From visiting friends, people watching on the boardwalk, to getting in one last visit to the ocean before flying out of LAX we find ourselves gravitating towards this unique and sometimes odd city. While on a recent trip to Palm Springs we decided to finally stay in Venice Beach on our last night to be near the airport and get a little ocean time in. While looking for a hotel we wanted to find something as quirky as Venice Beach itself and we definitely found that in The Kinney. Fr[...]
Just returned from a trip to Palm Springs and of course, we had to visit Joshua Tree National Park again. Our first trip we ended up in the backcountry on accident, this trip went much better. Tip: Be sure to enter an actual entrance station in your GPS or else you'll end up in the backcountry. On our first visit, we just entered "Joshua Tree National Park" and ended up in Covington Flat backcountry area. Your phone map won't be reliable once in the park, bring a paper map just to be safe. You should be able to pick up a basic map at the ranger station. If you pl[...]
A once stagnant corner full of traffic and potential is a bit livelier these days. New (to CLE) food hall restaurant concept Ohio City Galley has recently opened up in the space previously occupied by Massimo da Milano giving Clevelander's a new and exciting place to hang out, meet up, eat, and drink. Based in Pittsburgh, the Galley Group brought its third food hall concept to Cleveland this October providing four local chefs the ability to experience a brick and mortar type restaurant while giving Clevelander's the opportunity to try out four unique food c[...]
