Good morning and happy Friday! Today I am so excited to be sharing with you some of our newest TuesdaysTogether groups! As our groups grow throughout the country and the world, we decided it would be fun to give you a peek into some of their cities, with a guide to some of their favorite hang-outs. Without further ado, get an inside look at Rancho Cucamonga and Oceanside, CA.

I’m a wife to a Marine of 16 years, mother of 3, fearless adventurer & a purveyor of rad photos, fueled by coffee, love and a whole lot of Jesus.
Your favorite local hangout?
I don’t have one! I like it all… I go where the wind blows me. I guess that is just the free spirit in me.
What is your favorite local cuisine?
My favorite local cuisine? Um, FOOD! ALL OF IT! I’m a total foodie and it’s really based off of what I’m in the mood for. So maybe I’m a Moody Foodie?! Is that a thing?! I think I just made it a thing!
What’s your favorite thing about your city?
It’s creatively and diversely quirky! Rich in historical value, Its history begins in the agriculture-rich San Luis Rey Valley, which was first explored by the Spanish Explorer Portola in 1769, followed by the founding of the Mission San Luis Rey de Francia in 1798. Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton is located in Oceanside and was established in 1942. The 1986 movie, Top Gun was partially filmed here. That’s just skimming the surface! Oceanside has tons of mom & pop shops, local artists and of course its glorious beaches.
