    Outings

    Happy Trails

    The Walking Club recently explored the Buck Gully Trail. It is an easier trail for more mobility levels, ensuring that the entire group could participate. The great outdoors in Southern California is a special place and members of the walking club rarely miss a chance to get outside, stretch their legs, and explore our beautiful surroundings.


    Outings

    The Weaver’s Loom

    Located in the City of Orange, the Bowers Museum is one of our Creative Living partners. Residents are able to enjoy unique access to the exhibitions at this small but renowned museum. During the most recent visit, residents learned all about India’s textile revolution and the exhibit included many stunning examples of the craft. Afterwards, everyone lunched at Tangatas, the on-site restaurant.
