Coast To Coast Rehab

So today marks three weeks, since I made the big move to California, I'm loving it and I'm thrilled to be here, but there are things I miss.

Pools and beaches with warm water. If ever you fly over a city in Florida, look out the window and notice that almost every house has a pool. Every apartment complex has at least one, if not more, but in CA only the super wealthy have pools, plus it's too cold to even enjoy being in the water and laying out in the sun.




In Coral Gables, FL just outside of Miami proper, you'll find the Venetian Pool. One of my favorite places on earth and possibly one of the most beautiful places to spend the day. The Venetian Pool is essentially just a swimming hole, fed by a natural spring from the Florida aquifers and surrounded by limestone and palm trees. The water is cold, but bearable once your body has adjusted. Whether you plan to swim , lay out, relax in the cave, sit under the waterfall, play in the kids area, or dive in, the Venetian Pool is a great way to spend the day in South Florida and for a great price. For non-resident Adults (Coral Gables) the price is $10 and for kids $6.75. Please visit the site link if you'd like more information.

On the other side of the United States, I have found another beautiful outdoor adventure, great for the athletic and adventurous people and best of all, our four legged friends, yes dogs are welcome! Runyon Canyon is a 130 acre park located two blocks from Hollywood and located within the Hollywood Hills. The canyon is comprised of rugged trails that wrap around the canyon and allow the hiker to restin areas with breath taking views of Los Angeles, the Hollywood sign, miles and miles of the gorgeous and massive mansions of Beverly Hills and Bel-Air. This is a picture of a woman stretching at the first stop on the unpaved side of the trail with an epic view of Los Angeles. For more information on Runyon Canyon please visit this link:

I rate both of these sites four out of five stars :)
