Sunny Funny Days!

Over this past weekend my friends Georgia, Olivia, Miranda, and I decided to go for a drive through the mountains of Montecito. After about an hour of driving me decided to stop and look at the view, so we parked Georgia’s truck and adventured around. The view was amazing and the sky was so blue with not a single cloud in the sky! On our drive we drove pass my house and decided to go over and swim, since it was such a pretty day. After about a hour of swimming we decided just to go back to Olivia’s house to hang out.

The next day was a Saturday, Olivia and I decided we wanted to go on a hike with our friends McKenzie, Mia, Lauren, Georgia, and Olivia’s little sister Jenny. Since it was a pretty day we decided to go on a local hike named Seven Falls, I had never been on it so I was super excited! We started our hike around 11:30 and didn’t finish it until about 2:30. The hike overall was super fun but kind of challenging, we had to climb over rocked and walk in creeks filled with water. The water was so pretty and there were so many pretty waterfalls! Our goal for the hike was to make it to the very top, which has the biggest waterfall that you can jump off of and land in a deep little pool.

 

The water was so clean and pretty, and by the time we got to the top we couldn’t help ourselves but to jump in with all of our clothes on. We chilled at the waterfall for about twenty minutes, and then decided to head back down the mountain. The hike was very long and very tiring, not to mention each of us were soaked in wet clothes!

Overall the hike was super fun and I would most definitely do it again with so friends. I would totally recommend it if you’re looking for something adventurous and different!

Have you ever gone waterfall jumping? Do you know of any new places my friends and I could go next weekend? Let me know in the comments below!

Gloomy day hikes!

Over this weekend my mom and I decided to go on a hike and try to find a waterfall. We finally decided on a local hike called San Ysidro. Both of us had never made it to the waterfall before, so we were both super excited! It was a super gloomy day, which  in my option is the perfect hiking weather! We had both didn’t really know where the hike was so we kinda sorta got super lost on our way to the hike, and what  I mean is that we really ended up on the other side of town. But once we did get there the parking went all of the way to the end of the road! When we finally got to the trail head the trail was extremely muddy, I found it super fun, but my mom absolutely hated it. The hike was overall super easy,  but very very long. It was super fun going on the hike and seeing all the creeks filled and rushing with water cause of all the rain. The waterwas super clear too and by the end of the hike I really wanted to jump in!

It was so nice spending some quality time with my mom because she has been traveling a ton lately, and hasn’t really been in town! We got to tell stories about what is going on in our lifes and she told me fun things she did while she was gone.

When we finally got to the waterfall it was so pretty and rushing with water. The long tiring hike was all worth it when we got to the waterfall. On our way back my mom and I saw a lot of family friends, which was fun to catching up with them.

Overall I had a super fun time on this hike with my mom, and we actually bonded a lot too! I would definitely recommend this hike to everyone, its super easy and fun!

Have you recently found a new hike around you? Do you know of any hikes I can try? Let me know down below!
