Photos: Farilla's Birfday Weekend!
A couple of weeks ago we celebrated Farilla's 37th twirl around the sun! Pi Day was spent soaking in mineral baths, playing in the mud and re-hydrating in The Grotto at Glenn Ivy Hot Springs. Who knew a full day of relaxation could be so exhausting. From there we pushed on to Yucca Valley/Joshua Tree where I treated Farilla to dinner at Crossroads Cafe & Tavern. I thought the Tavern filled with climbers fresh off the rocks would be a perfectly nostalgic setting for Farilla's (other) birthday dinner. Good times, good food and a good-long wait to get our food led to a nice conversation (and free bday beer) with the owner of the tavern.
The next morning we were on the hunt for a rental property in the area which I read about last year in Apartment Therapy. Just our luck, we ran into the architect. Robert was kind enough to spare a few minutes to give us a tour of his rental (pictured below) along with another rental he's currently working on...picture an infinity pool and jacuzzi just off of the living room. Yum! We've been thinking this might be a great setting to host a future Playa Surfers/Homeslice gathering-of-the-tribes. DJ's, dust off those decks! With a full kitchen, large jacuzzi, fire pit, full bath, BBQ and all-around righteous setting this space might just make a perfect location for a little desert glamping!
After our tour of the rentals we spent some time geocaching with my new(ish) handheld GPS.
We worked up an appetite finding a couple of caches so we made our way into The Park for a picnic lunch. We stumbled upon a familiar spot in Jumbo Rocks where we decided to feast on sammiches and enjoy the sunshine for a bit. Farilla was so inspired by the moment that he decided to break out the Buugeng.
So much fun! I still can't believe how much we were able to squeeze into that weekend. Thanks, Love, for being born!

Photos: Playa Surfer's Halloween :: Joshua Tree National Park
Last week Farilla and I ventured off to Joshua Tree to celebrate Halloween weekend under the Milky Way with the Playa Surfers and their extended family! Such an amazing Lovefest...truly beautiful peeps! Thank you ALL for the warmth, laughter and face-melting beats!
On Sunday afternoon Michelle set up a group Sound Bath at the Integratron in Landers. Complete heaven....seriously! I can't even begin to explain the meditative and relaxing quality of this experience. Wow!
Since Farilla hadn't been to Pappy and Harriet's Pioneertown Palace I suggested we stop in on the way home for some dinner. It was no surprise that the place was packed. We dined on veggie burgers and threw back a couple of beers served up in mason jars before venturing off for a walk under the stars through Pioneertown.
A delightfully magical weekend from start to finish...for a few more snaps (mainly from our rock crawl on Saturday afternoon) click here.

Photos: Rock Climbing In Joshua Tree
Very early Saturday morning Erin and I shot out to Joshua Tree for an afternoon of Rock Climbing with E's friends, Michael, Monique & little Logan. We couldn't have asked for better weather. Such an amazing day!
Unfortunately due to a recent onset of vertigo (which Michael has seemingly cured) I limited myself to one climb. That climb was way more (physically AND mentally) challenging than I ever could have imagined! Wow!
HUGE thanks to Monique and Michael for sharing their many years of climbing knowledge & experience. You guys make it look so effortless...seriously amazing!
