My day trip to reminisce when I need a day to pick me up. As soon as the start of early summer months and late spring arrived, I became tolerant of braving the bearable heat. But I am so allergic of this heat that even though I have high tolerance of it when I was a kid. Now, oh please, I stay away from warmness of the sun not if I can't help it. I fear for dear life of heat stroke.


Since my trip was an unexpected out of the blue trip I did not want to postpone. I am so glad I didn't. I got to meet a person who works there, and she is nice. I listened and she know parts of the area where I come from. I thank her before I left. I was glad to have met her. This is probably a go to event again that I would go to. If the weather allows for another time that is not too warm.


Please stay reading until the end of this article for the blueberry coffee syrup recipe link, I will be sharing pretty soon. I can't wait for you to try it! In this article I will tell you about the personal day trip visit to a blueberry farm. Read to read?



💭Setting the Intention: A Warm Day Beckons


It started with that quiet feeling-sunshine pouring through the window and the thought, "I want to go somewhere this week."



I was getting depressed and all I can say is I found myself scrolling through social media (as one does!) and saw all these cool places people were exploring nearby.


It made me realize there's no need to wait for anyone. The day is beautiful during the trip. A little warm than I expected for picking blueberries, but this little adventure is calling my name.



🚗SoCal is a Treasure Chest-Let's Open It


Living in Southern California means we're spoiled (in the best way)! I tell you when you visit there's a possibility that you will come back. I have been living here over a decade now and with these options such as coastal drives, sweet local gems like u pick farms and orchards, nature spots, all within reach. Minutes 'till you're there.


Whether you're into bookstores and old cafes or museums and coastal breeze walks-it's all here. Seriously, you just need comfy shoes and a car.


In Southern California there are two Metro Cities nearby mean you can jump between vintage spots and sleek new places depending on your vibe. I personally adore a spontaneous day trip with a sketchbook and a snack in tow!



🫐Blueberry Bliss-A Hidden U-Pick Daydream


I don't know how I missed this gem before...just a short ride and suddenly I was in wine country picking blueberries under the sun. Even if it was warm in the area where I am from. As I was halfway driving to my destination, I feel the temp. adjusted.



I see more clouds not much but sparse clouds that covered the way there and I think it was a little breezy because the car was a little bit going against a mild wind. I can feel it. Or maybe it was just my imagination. Either way the temperature was cooler when I got there.


The farm is tucked away with free parking and a peaceful driveway-you pay for your container and just go to town picking (but no snacking blueberries in the field, okay? 😉) it is not allowed.


As I tell you in the intro, I met the loveliest people, got a bit of sun, and left with a full heart-and excited to make something out of my blueberries and it was a container full!


You have three admission prices. The large container is $20 the medium is $12 and the small $6. The containers are an Asian take-out restaurant to go box style the one with the metal wire handle.


P.S. My blueberry coffee syrup recipe link is HERE, and YES, it's worth it!



Turning Moments into Inspiration


Adventures like this are perfect if you're an artist, writer, or even a blogger, or just someone who loves a pretty journaling photo you can include in your journaling adventures and a tasty meal.


I brought my vlogging camera with me hoping to capture the golden light, but that is for another time.


Whether it becomes a journal page, a YouTube vlog, or just a memory saved in your phone you never know what an afternoon can spark.



Thank you for reading my article, may you girlies carry thoughts of happiness and that happiness outshines your burdens. Stay positive and it will take negative energy breaths away.
