Was that you sailing in the cerulean waves of Malibu? Are you surrounded by sizzling hot guys, roasting marshmallows, playing acoustic guitar? No? Still dreaming of Mr. Right slipping bejeweled pumps on your princess feet at the steps of Versailles? C'mon girl-friends, does that kind of fairytale fun really exist? If you are a "California Girl" at heart, take your mind, body, soul for a workout. We are destined to have more adventurous fun with friends! from water sports, scenic daytrips, art events, and weekends at favorite vacations spots within a half days drive.

Together, we will zipline-ing, hiking, kayaking, card shuffling, poker playing, pistol shooting, zoo petting, art gallery hopping, salsa dancing, wine tasting, paddle boarding, and mechanical bull-riding.  

This group will enjoy activities to help refresh our minds and bodies. “Leisure” is the ultimate purpose of work. So reward yourself...become part of our active community! Come for laughs with the girls, cocktails, and pistachios at next hotel "Meet & Greet." About 150 members, ages mostly 22ish to -45ish.

No need to be expert at volleying balls over nets. Tanned beach bunnies, most of us ain't. We're just girls that wanna have fun with outgoing friends. Many of us are designers, athletes, adrenaline junkies, counselors, models, artists, entrepreneurs, single and married.
