When I found out a few weeks ago that my hubby and I will be moving out of the San Diego area very soon, I started thinking about the things we haven't done yet here that I want to experience. That's why last weekend we did a whale watching cruise, and today we did the Three Sisters Waterfall Hike. Three Sisters Falls is located in a town called Descanso, around 50 miles from where we live.

This happens to me sometimes after I've had really good workouts multiple days in a row, and I usually take it as a cue to rest my body for a day. Instead of doing a high impact workout, I elected to go for a long walk with my pup, then do a solid ... [Read More]
