Inner Thoughts

Fans of history know that it is somewhat of a rare occurrence to get a glimpse of what life was like centuries ago. Luckily, places like the Kimberly Crest House and Gardens make it possible to revisit history. This amazing structure was built in 1897 and was considered the “castle” because of its distinctive design. It stands as a fine example of lavish Victorian architecture. The home's namesake, Kimberly Crest, donated the property to the city of Redlands and it has been a vital historical link to the area's past ever since. The house is available for tours, but it is suggested that you call ahead to schedule a specific time.

Getting the attention of everyone in your family is no easy task, but that is exactly what will happen when you take everyone to the Fiesta Village Family Fun Center in San Bernardino. This inventively designed amusement center offers rides, games, challenges and good clean fun for all ages. In addition to the attractions, there are various concession areas where you can gather the kids together for a tasty snack and a bit of a rest before they continue to enjoy the many diversions that this popular family destination has to offer.

San Bernardino welcomes its share of bands that are on tour, and when they make their stop at the San Manuel Amphitheater, be ready for a great show. This entertainment venue has been a longstanding live music benchmark in the community, and while it isn't the fanciest or most polished place to see a show, the rugged and somewhat rough surroundings only add to the experience of seeing your favorite rock band take the stage and rattle the walls a bit.
