Where to Spot the Southern California Wildflowers It’s wildflower season! Each Spring in Southern California we become a little crazed on “tracking the bloom”. We never know exactly what we’re going to get each year and I think that adds to the excitement. Lucky for us this year is supposed to be a great year for our Southern California Wildflowers.

Here was the sunset on the drive out of the Grand Canyon. It was beautiful! Headed out to Page and checked into the La Quinta which was my absolute savior. The hotel is dog friendly!!!!

Oh, and we got free breakfast.. Score! After my experience…
