Where TF have I been?!…read more Since bailing the past year on these runs, I had the opportunity to participate for the first time in March and again in April. SOOO MUCH FUN!!! Basically, it's like Amazing Race and Scavenger Hunt all in one! There are different stops around Carlsbad (some as far as a mile out), and the point is for you to go to as many stops and get raffle tickets. Usually about 10 checkpoints. Do: -Get there early! As in 5pm early for parking, check in, booth hopping, samples, and pictures. -Register online for extra tickets. Also, you get an email of the map. It's easier than writing all the stops down. -Buy the Adventure Run shirt for $20. You get extra raffle (and beer) tickets at each of the stops you get to. -Like their FB page as there is a secret word for the secret checkpoint. -Plan your route. Best advice is to go to the farthest checkpoint and make your way back! -Stay for the after-party! They raffle off some really good isht (like race entries, headlamps and shoes!!!!) So much fun!!! -Invite your friends... O HAI, ITS FREEEEEEE!!! Note: They have one at the RR in San Diego as well and they are on the 2nd Thurs of each month. I double dip!!!

YES! Just participated in one last month. How did I not know about this free running activity…read morebefore? Free, fun, and not to mention you are also getting a great workout at your own pace. Found out about this on the interwebs (probably through Instagram or something like that) and was looking for activities that would keep me more active. Plus, raffles for legit prizes kind of reeled me in. So I told the bf about it and said it would be a great thing to work out together and hopefully get lucky in the raffles. We love our freebies. If you register early online, you get an emailed copy of the map with checkpoint locations half an hour before everyone else. Plus you also get a few more raffle tickets upon signing in and they give you a plastic ziplock bag to contain your tickets along the way. If you buy an Adventure Run t-shirt, you get double the raffles in each checkpoint as well as double the free beers for the end. Oh and kids are also welcome to run too; they just won't be getting the one free beer... You can arrive as early as 5pm to get some raffles from vendors as well as test some products (shoes, foam rollers, ankle/shin/leg supports, chia seed drinks, etc) until 6pm. From 6-7pm is when the run starts. You can choose to do one of two things in this run: aim to grab as many raffle tickets as you can in the allotted time, or aim to run as much as you can in the allotted time. It depends on what your main goal is. Some checkpoints offer more than 1 raffle ticket depending on distance or activity (taste testings at Menchie's, answering questions from local businesses) and some are of different ticket color. I'm not sure what the latter is categorized for but it helps when they do the raffle drawings (White/red/blue/green ticket # ____). We did about 3.5 miles in the 50 minutes we had and boy was I tired in the end and sore the next couple of days. It's so fun I'm already registered to run the next one in a few weeks with the bf. Although this time around I will just run with the shoes I came in with. Note to self: never run with rental shoes... ruptured blisters on the backs of both heels. Yikes.

As a member, there are many advantages (member pricing and access to member only events), however they have many public events including Bingo Wednesday evenings, family dinners Thursdays, live music & dancing on Friday nights and various special events over the weekend. Sunday often consist of football and brunches during the day, and dancing with Marty's big band at night! The elks is also available for rentals and they do an amazing job, as the staff is personable and accommodating to all different types of people!

I attend every meeting and learn so much valuable information every time! Every month they have the best and brightest investors attend. I'm able to get access to these guys every month I attend. The networking before and after the meeting is unlike any other club. It's your chance to ask the investors anything you want to know. They set aside a couple hours from their busy schedules to help others find their way in real estate. I am so lucky to have found this club! These successful investors are not only great resources but great friends as well. A big THANK YOU to Reggie Lal for being generous enough to give back to the newbie investor population. His knowledge, stories and success are an inspiration. He's one of the only top investors willing to take the time to say hello to all who attend. Can't say enough good things about this club!!! Parking at the Del Mar Hilton is free for those who attend.

First time visiting the Oside Moose Lodge. Admission is for members and guests only and were graced…read morewith an invite from local friends. There is no cover charge or admission fees. We enjoyed live music from a Rock and Roll band, socialized with good company, and cooled off with drinks that were fairly priced. The atmosphere is good, with cool separate spaces including a poker table, billiards room, outdoor patio, and dance floor. All staff was very friendly and welcoming. Parking can be tricky since the lot is very small and adjacent businesses highly discourage non-business parking. Our friends gave us detailed information on the membership benefits and we are definitely considering. Till the next time, Oside Moose Lodge.

How fun was it to be a qualified guest & on a live music night too! I've never been there before…read morebut had always wanted to see what it was all about. It's in O'side off the 101 and it's a locals staple to its members and sometimes guests. I have some friends that are members and have told me how they enjoyed their time there. I've checked their website previously and have considered joining myself but held off as life just went by. Parking can be tricky because their lot is small & neighboring businesses have their own lots so we found street parking on the other side of the block and walked on over. It's an old lodge and has lots of retro style designs and decor throughout. You get bang for your bucks for quality cocktails and drinks all made by volunteers that work for tips. To my surprise I knew even more people that were already there enjoying community time together. It's fun being with people who vibe as your tribe in commonalities. Knowing these friends frequent the same type of venues and activities that I do makes considering joining even more appealing. My friends all expressed how they have great cause fundraiser events and game nights there. Like trivia and such. Fun! We got to enjoy it on Rock n Roll night and the music was by Reagan "guitar" Williams & band. They definitely Rocked! People danced and socialized well here and everyone looked happy to be there. *I feel like the website could be refreshed and spoofed up a tad more. I can definitely can get on board with places that invest in maintaining betterment of their community and those in need etc. We had a great evening with our friends and being newbie guests to the establishment was much more than we expected. Looking forward to another visit sometime soon.

Our friends told us about this farm and we were honestly blown away. We were visiting North County…read moreand kept saying the whole time how much we wish we had a place exactly like this closer to us! The farm stand is absolutely adorable. I love the concept of making fresh food accessible to everyone and anyone. It's such a great mission. The highlight for us was the nature play area; my little one could have stayed there for hours. They've done a fantastic job creating an outdoor experience that's genuinely fun and engaging for kids of all ages. I also loved the "lead experiences" they host every hour. We joined the chicken feeding, which was a huge hit thanks to Daniel! We felt very safe throughout our visit, and the security team was incredibly helpful and a special thanks to Stephanie for that. We're already looking forward to our next trip back!

I cannot say enough good things about coastal roots farm! Four years it has been a favorite spot of…read moremine to pick up fresh organic fruits and vegetables. The farm has on Thursdays and Sundays a pay what you can farm stand. This has been a tremendous help to the community, especially when Covid hit. When purchasing items it is private so other people cannot see if you need to use the opportunity to purchase items at a discounted price or at full price. There are also many educational opportunities on the farm. Camps for kids, after school programs and other events are available throughout the year. The farm recently opened a coffee cart as well. Swing by and get fresh coffee along with your fruits and vegetables. There are also chickens on the farm and fresh eggs are sold every Sunday. If you like to eat the rainbow, or try new vegetables, this might be the spot for you as well, depending on when you arrive at the farm, you can see the vegetables coming in just after they have been picked to be sold.
