Tenaja Falls

(14 Pictures)

These pictures were taken 4-23-11 at Tenaja Falls. These trails can be found in the La Cresta Area, west of Murrieta. There are lots of trails to choose from and this particular one took a good 20 minutes to get to. Had to travel across some narrow mountain roads but still easily accessible.

Tenaja Falls
Here's a glance of what you can see nearing the end of the trail we took, it was really quite the site.

Tenaja Waterfall
At the end of our trail hike we came across the Tenaja Waterfalls, nothing huge but still a site to see. And a nice place to set up for a quick snack before heading back.

Murreita Wild Hyacinth
There is a lot of wild flowers up on the trail, this particular one is a Wild Hyacinth, they were quite common.

SeaWorld: Second Visit

(11 Pictures)

Seaworld is definitely an awesome place to visit if you live in the SanDiego/Riverside area! Only about 45-60 minutes away from Murrieta it doesn't make for a bad drive either. This posts has a few pictures gathered on our second visit to Seaworld.

Oceanside Beach

Oceanside beach is only 30-40 minutes away from Murrieta, and while a bit cold, still holds many nice sights to see, including a Pier with a Mimi's Cafe on it, hotels, events and lots more!

Pier Sunset
At the end of the day, there was a beautiful sunset towards the pier.
Ocean Scene
Off the parking lot this is the first thing you see.

About an hours drive south down to San Diego, you'll reach Sea world. An amusement park full of fun shows, exhibits and rides. Here are a few picture from the last time I went.
