Relaxation and Good Times out on the Colorado River

Relaxation and Good Times out on the Colorado River

By Erin

Things are starting to heat up around here and the summer will soon be here! One place that I love to spend my summer days is out at the river. Just about a 4-4/1/2 hour drive depending on traffic and if you stop to grab a bite to eat and take a bathroom break or not. Whether you stay in Parker, Havasu, or just somewhere along the river, it’s always a good time. I have been spending my days at this wonderful place for as long as I can remember.

River Life

A beautiful view awaits right outside the front door. Ready to go out for a float?

During the warm summer months, the river is a great place to cool off at with friends and family! It can get pretty busy though, look at all the boats!

River Food

If you’re hungry, one of my favorite places to dine at while at the river is at El Sarape in Parker, AZ. Here is the carne asada plate! It’s so good!

River Fun

A river trip isn’t complete without some cool drinks! Cheers! A boat ride is also customary, there are some fun floating bars and restaurants you can drive right up to and dock your boat at! Shown here on the right is the Roadrunner! It’s fun to go there at night for some drinks, dancing and just hanging out. It’s also a good place to grab some breakfast at!

Wordless Wednesday-Carmel By the Sea: A Day at the Beach

Carmel By the Sea: A Day at the Beach

By Erin

With spring break this week, it has me really wanting to take a beach day and just get out of town for a few days. Since I am still working with other things and cannot do that as much as I’d love to, this will have to do for now. A beach day is in order soon! Check out Carmel By The Sea for more info on this beautiful beach and city. I hope to return here soon!

Day 15: Teeny-Tiny

I happened upon a cute little pond in Irvine this weekend, that had some beautiful lily pads in bloom with lots of teeny-tiny tadpoles swimming around in it. The ducks were having the tadpoles for their breakfast/lunch though I think! 🙁

Can you see the teeny-tiny  tadpoles swimming around here? 😉

The ducks came by and started enjoying the tadpoles too……
