I Love taking walks and going to my most favorite park, Fairview Park, and practicing yoga and meditation. It's so lovely and spring is bringing us flowers and beauty on the bluffs. The Park has great big sycamore trees for shade if its hot out and also lush green cool grass to lay on. The park is very secluded. I'm taking you to a secret spot hidden from the hustle and bustle where all you hear are crickets and birds. You can sign up for the class through the city of Costa mesa at thier website …

The group has been updated to reflect the changes from my email below the original description of the group.  I will modify this page again in a few weeks. This is the original description of my purpose in starting this group: "I love to hike, but I have kids that are 9 and 11 . . . and they DON'T. I was in several other OC hiking groups, but most of the hikes happen when I would either need to get a sitter or drag the boys with us. So I finally decided to start a group to pull together others w …

We have fun and you are welcome to join our group. But it must be understood that hiking, biking, …
