What a great trip! After installing new front brake pads (the LAST thing on my long list of to-do’s), we were finally able to hook up the trailer and hit the road for Red Rock Canyon State Park.

More info on Red Rock Canyon State Park can be found here.

Great trails, great friends, and the Indian Wells Brewery made this one of our favorite wheeling/camping trips to date!

Here are the pictures:

We woke up bright and early this morning and decided it was time to start getting in shape again, so we woke the dog, threw on her harness and leash, and off we went.
Using RunKeeper on my iPhone, we will be tracking our (hopefully) daily walks/runs. Here’s our track from this morning’s walk:

We had a great turn out,a ton of fun (and beer), and beautiful weather! We were lucky enough to get a private tour and tasting.
My personal favorite brew of the day was Stone Ruination IPA.
Here are some pictures:

I’ll start by posting this recently completed tri-fold piece that I designed for a local florist/wedding planning company. I really enjoyed putting it together. Enjoy!

D-land is running a special right now for Southern California residents. 3-day Park-Hopper tickets for $99…not half bad if you ask me!
We stayed at HOTEL MÉNAGE Friday and Saturday night, and were able to walk to the park .

We had an extremely enjoyable weekend, but two days at Disneyland & California Adventure will did a number on our feet! Here are the pictures:

To celebrate his service, we planned a trip before he left to one of our favorite places to camp & offroad: Pismo Beach (Oceano Dunes, to be more precise). What a great weekend!
