After spending 3 days in Palm Springs camping at Sam’s Family Spa in our VW, we were able to explore pretty much everything on our list! I figured it would be fun to share our itinerary with you in case you’re planning a trip anytime soon! Here goes! DAY TRIP: 1. Salvation Mountain: This is about 1.5 hours outside of Palm Springs, but we made…
So, I’m definitely not a Joshua Tree expert AT ALL, but I figured I would share with you our personal itinerary while we were there, just for some ideas for your own trip! Thanks to Robert & Christina for some of these places – they passed along a great list to us of things to do in the closest town to the national park, which…
I’ve received tons of questions during our trip to California about renting a VW Westfalia Van! It’s a dream that a lot of us little free-spirited hippies have had, and I am going to share with you how to make it your reality (even if only for a week!) … Then I’ll be back to share some of our favorite spots from our trip, as…
 Chicwish dress (non maternity) | Aysen shoes | Sezane tote For my final flight on an airplane before baby comes, we took a trip to LA/ San Luis Obispo for our friends wedding! Matt and I (and our best friends Alex & Doug) rented a car, and drove upcoast about 2 hours to an airbnb near the wedding. It was amazing to be surrounded by friends,…
1. Cream: I haven’t been eating sweets lately, but I made an exception for this place. You get to pick your own cookie flavor from a long list of options, and then pick the ice cream flavor you like most along with toppings. It’s adorable AND tastes amazing. 2. La Taqueria: DELICIOUS local joint with on of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The avocado…
We spent labor day wandering around the Redwoods, and it was breathtaking. It is so quiet as you walk around, and we didn’t see a single animal! The climate is so different from what we’re used to – dry and cool. It was refreshing, and perfect for bundling up all cozy. !function(doc,s,id){ var e, p; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) { e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; p =…
After 1 canceled flight, we finally made it to San Francisco yesterday morning! I wanted to focus on traveling smart and light this trip, so i brought these jeans from Urban that I am OBSESSED WITH (slim fit, but also slouchy) and these Aysen shoes that I received last week and haven’t taken off since. They are genuine leather and hand crafted, and they feel…
excessive photos alert. there were so many more, trust me. this is where our journey ended. our little van named Sunny D broke down when we entered kings canyon 6,000 feet up. I guess the elevation didn’t help her out much, and she wouldn’t start. we ended up having to get her towed all the way down to the closest town and rent a car…
Big Sur is one of the most beautiful places. If you like perfect weather and perfect views (which, who doesn’t!) it’s a must-see. I remember when I roadtripped with my parents at 14 in california we stopped here, and stayed in a log cabin. I never forgot how much I loved the place, and knew we had to come back. we spent a day in…
We camped at this beautiful campground called Kirk Creek in Big Sur. It was up there on my list of prettiest places i’ve ever been to. we parked Sunny D right on the edge of a cliff and slept looking out at this view. if this isn’t living… i don’t know what is! my best friend sara and i thrifted polka dotted getups from this…
it started as a dream. we dreamt of driving across california in a VW van… i dreamt about it since i was little, and we dreamt about it since we’ve met. then when we booked a trip to california to visit our best friends, matt found a company that rents VW vans, and our dream became a reality. our journey began in LA with our…
