The Sunshine State: Point Reyes National Seashore

We made a day trip up to Point Reyes National Seashore.  There are several original farms from early settlers that are still running. The thick fog and the history of the area made it feel very quiet and reflective.

The Sunshine State: Big Sur

Big Sur was incredible. By far my favorite part. Everything was golden and beautiful. We ended the day watching the sunset at Pfeiffer Beach at Keyhole Rock – it blew our socks off. So gorgeous.

The Sunshine State: Drive Through California

The first day of our trip was so beautiful – we just drove for hours listening to lovely music, sipping on coffee and seeing the heart of California. Our goal was to drive from Los Angeles to Monterrey, where our hotel was. Here are some of the sights we saw a long the way.

Stay Tuned this week as I share the rest of our trip!

The Sunshine State: 10 Hours In LA

I'm finally getting around to sharing our amazing trip through California earlier this September! We spent a week driving up the coast on Highway 1 loving every second of the sunshine we got.

We spent 10 Hours in Los Angeles and 6 of them were sleeping! We flew in Friday night and after a terrible two hour wait at our car-rental we hit up In-N-Out, stuffed our faces and then quickly made our way to LACMA to see Urban Light by Chris Burden.

I had been wanting to see this exhibit since college and it was well-worth the wait!

We crashed at our hotel and woke up early to hit the road before traffic. We stopped quick at Randy's Donuts for a Coconut, French Curler, Honey Oat & an Old Fashioned – don't judge us, it's vacation, we deserved a donut.

Then we started up Highway 1 with a quick stop in Venice Beach to grab coffee at Menottis and take a short walk on the beach.

Stay tuned this week for more from our California Coast Trip!
