Guess where I was last weekend?
It involved southern comfort food…
beautiful antebellum mansions…
lush plantations…
and awesome friends!

It’s been 3.5 years since we moved from the East Coast to sunny California! In that short time, we’ve been so fortunate to have visited so many of California’s great attractions and cities. Seriously, California truly has it all. Where else can you go soak up the rays on a beach, ski down powdery slopes, hike to through a breathtaking national park, and eat amazing food, all within a few hours of each other? I highly recommend a roadtrip through this great state! Here are the breathtaking sights and cities that we’ve visited.
San Diego/Coronado/La Jolla – Highlights include over 300 days of warm sunshine a year, pandas at the San Diego Zoo, and a laid back Cali vibe:
Los Angeles – Where to begin? Santa Monica beach and boardwalk, Hollywood hike, Venice Canals, and food trucks! Stay tuned for future posts on La La land!
Joshua Tree National Park – Love those Joshua Trees!
Santa Barbara/Solvang/Santa Ynez Valley – Great wineries, quaint Danish town, and gorgeous Spanish style architecture:
San Francisco – I love this city! SF is a charming city with amazing views throughout and an overabundance of great food!
Napa Valley – Delicious wine and food, and gorgeous scenery to boot…. what else do you need?
Tahoe – Powdery slopes in the winter, beautiful lake and hikes in the summer:
Yosemite National Park – One of country’s most beautiful national parks, Yosemite has breathtaking scenery and if you visit from May through September, gushing waterfalls!
Mendocino – Rugged coastlines and a slower pace of life, this is the perfect area for rest and relaxation!
And 2 places I haven’t visited yet, but will eventually!
Death Valley National Park:
Redwood National Park:
Travel Inspiration – Winter Getaways

A few weeks ago, the hubs went on an epic snowboarding trip to Colorado. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to accompany him but that didn’t stop me from daydreaming about other wintry escapes. Most people think of beach escapes when it’s the middle of winter, but I personally think it’s uber romantic to take a winter wonderland getaway. I immediately think of cozy fireplaces, untouched freshly fallen snow, hot cocoa, and lots of cuddling! Here are some places I wouldn’t mind visiting or re-visiting 🙂
Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada:
Jackson Hole, Wyoming:
Prague, Czech Republic:
Zermatt, Switzerland:
Neuschwanstein Castle, Bavaria, Germany:
Bruges, Belgium (stay tuned for my post on Bruges!):
Hammerfest, Norway:
Quebec City, Canada – this city truly is a winter wonderland!
