This spontaneous midlife road trip includes coastal sunsets, funnel cakes at Mission Beach’s Belmont Park, fresh seafood at Kiko’s Place, and peaceful moments at Balboa Park. Great for EV drivers, multigenerational travel, solo travels, and anyone navigating the sweet, chaotic middle of life. Ideal for quick weekend trips, reconnecting with family, and soaking in SoCal charm without a strict itinerary.

I finally stopped overthinking and bought the kayak. This post isn’t just about trying something new—it’s about choosing yourself, one little step at a time. Includes a first-timer’s review of my inflatable kayak and a link to our 2-day anniversary road trip!

his two-day trip reminded me that midlife doesn’t mean picking just one thing. You don’t have to choose between rustic or refined, cozy or chic. You can be the woman who paddles through a lake one day and lounges in a cabana the next — and love both.

From gems in Quartzsite to BBQ in Blythe, and awe at Joshua Tree 🌵—this day trip was a full vibe.
