Kayaking down the Russian River with Russian River Adventures

Picture a river as smooth as glass, perfect 60-to-70-degree weather, surrounded by luscious green trees and bushes, and laughing and enjoying yourself as you float down the Russian River with your best friends, your family, or in my case, just me and my son.  That’s what I recently had the pleasure to do with Russian…

The Best Beach in the US: Why You Need to Spend the Day at Coronado Beach

I love beaches.  I grew up two blocks from the beach.  I have lived less than 1 hour’s drive from a beach most of my life.  I have been to beaches up and down the East and West Coast of the United States and to some in Hawaii.  And I have never had a better…
