FUN IN THE "OCTOBER" SUN

Wake me up...when September ends! OH WAIT IT HAS!!!! Happy October Month to all you beautiful people. Its feeling like fall more and more. The leaves are still changing colors, the mornings are brisk and chilly, the dew is on the grass, families are bringing out the jackets, sweaters and coats preparing for the winter season. Well not so much for us on the West Coast....not to rub it in or anything but it's nice, bright, sunny and oh so fantastic :) with that said for all my Southern California readers I want to give you some great things you can do out here, either with your family, your honey, a date or by yourself if you are just that adventurous  So strap in, here's my October fun in the sun ideas....


First up....Miramar Air Show - October 12 - 14 2012 in San Diego
If you like it loud then the air show is for you. The Miramar Air show is an awesome airshow with the famous U.S. Navy Blue Angels, The Canadian SnowBirds, and much more. This show is free general admission. If you are interested in perferred seating it does cost money. Check out Miramar Air Show for more information.

Next up....La Jolla Art and Wine Festival - Saturday and Sunday October 13 - 14 2012 from 10 AM to 6 PM on Upper Girard Avenue. A fun outdoor activity in La Jolla San Diego, CA. This could be a great lunch or early dinner date with that special someone, or an afternoon stroll out with the girlfriends. For more information please visit Lajolla and Wine Festival

If you're into the whole Halloween thing then this is right up your alley....Scream Zone Del Mar - September 28 - October 31 2012, at the Del Mar Fairgrounds $14.99 for one scary adventure, $27.99 for all three - Haunted Hayride, House of Horror and The Chamber. Beware of ghouls, zombies & monsters. Visit Scream Zone Del Mar for more information.

Love to eat....Here's a great day date idea, head to LA's largest street fair called Taste of Soul Festival The Taste of Soul Los Angeles takes place annually in October and features a taste of all things “soulful” including food from local restaurants, live entertainment, displays from local artists, and exhibits from local businesses and organizations. Visit Taste of soul LA for more information.

                                                    

Love Hayrides....What about a haunted hayride? Take your friends, girlfriend or boyfriend and head out to Los Angeles for the Los Angeles Haunted Hayride. It's crazy scary! For the Hayride alone it is $28 but for the Hayride and maze it is $37. Check it out at Los Angeles Haunted Hayride for a spooktacular adventure.

For my Bay area peeps....Check out the 2nd Annual San Francisco Reggae FestivalThis annual event features local and national Reggae bands, island food, arts, and crafts. The San Francisco Reggae Fest will be held on Saturday October 20th, 2012 from 12 pm until 6 pm at O'Farrell. Interested? Well SF Reggae Festival will give you more information.

Are you a mastermind?....then you'll love The Mastermind Hunt: San Francisco. This event takes place Saturday, Oct 20th 2:00 pm at Jessie Square, San FranciscoCA. Get a team of family, neighbors and friends, and use your collective brainpower to solve the clues. Then, race to find each secret location before your opponents! Bring a team of devoted puzzle solvers, your wits, a spirit of adventure, and your best pair of walking shoes. Sounds fun? The Mastermind Treasure Hunts has more information for you.

This concludes my list of fun in the October sun. Some of these things I have tried and some I have not. If you live in California and are in any of these areas try some of these things out and let me know how you liked them. 

For my readers that don't live in Cali there is plenty to do in the October Sun where you are. Crack open a google page and see the awesome events in your town and get out there and enjoy this October Sun!! Now if only I had a date to take me to the wine festival and the taste of soul.......

    2. I have no idea I haven't had time to search LA hotspots to find out. thanks for visiting me at Deliciously Happy and commenting on accountability. A journey is a journey for a reason you don't need to be strong during the whole thing. You'll get back to yours when you're ready.

  5. It's Spring in this half of the hemisphere, but the sun has been too shy to come out and play!

    If the weather weren't quite so miserable, I'd do a community event. Get random people in my community, that I've never met, to come play dodgeball; frisbee.. whatever in the park. I've been wanting to set up a community-wide capture the flag tournament as well!

    Bring on the summer! :)

  8. Pretty awesome things going on!!

    Well, I've already seen my Canadian Snowbirds hee hee. We had an airshow back in the summer (Aug I think).

    We've had some pretty awesome weather lately too. Just on our Thanksgiving Monday, we had an awesome family fun day at the beach. These last two days have been pretty "fall" days. Temperature dropped a bit and some fog rolled in. Still loving our weather...at least there's no rain...for now :)

  9. We normally do lots of family walks, go to the pumpkin patch (only on days where it isn't raining lol). When it snows, we usually go to Whistler (which is about an hour away from our home) and go play up there for the day.
