A 7 Day PNW Manifesto

I recently planned a 5 day trip through Oregon and Washington and while we had plenty of fun I think 7 days would have been ideal! The following is my seven day version of the condensed one we followed. Day One: Leaving from the Bay Area, drive north to Bend, Oregon (8 hours, give or […]

Making Pet Travel Paw-ssible!

It’s pretty well known that San Diego is an extremely dog friendly city, so to celebrate the end of my college career and the start of summer we decided it was time to take our English Bull Terrier, Kona, on her first vacation! Aside from a quick day trip to Yosemite this was Kona’s longest road trip […]

California’s Gold | Two Places at Once

At long last, our final destination has been met! The idea has been tossed around for years of turning this location into the fifty-first state in America and naming it Jefferson but for now it remains (and probably always will) the state line between California and Oregon. I am a little disappointed in my home […]

California’s Gold | Tall Tales of the PNW

Sticking with the evident theme of “out-of-the-ordinary” attractions along Highway 101, have y’all met my friend Paul? Not sure how common of a story this is for children nowadays, but for me Paul Bunyan and Babe were up there with The Three Little Pigs and Little Red Riding Hood. The gist of the tall tale […]

California’s Gold | Eureka! No Gold Here!

Huell Howser and I were on the same page when we both pinned the town of Eureka as a place to stop along Highway 101. Marked as stop number 15 on the California’s Gold road map, this throwback of a town is not only home to Lost Coast Brewery and the Samoa Cookhouse but is has its own mansion! […]

California’s Gold | Brews

There are two types of brewed drinks that I am a particular fan of– the bean kind and the hops kind– and highway 101 has a fair share of both! So this blog post is going to venture away from Huell Howser’s guide map, as I customize it by adding some of my own stops […]

California’s Gold | Are You Confused Yet?

California is lucky enough to be home to not one but TWO gravity defying attractions; The Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz and Confusion Hill of Mendocino County.Although I live closer to The Mystery Spot, I grew up defying gravity on the side of “Old Highway 101” at Confusion Hill. This was always a prime spot to […]

Get Your Kicks On Route 66! | Disposable Camera Challenge Pt. 3

Road trip #2, check! The first one was to get to school and this trip was to get away from it (for Fall Break, relax mothers, no new dropouts) I flew to Los Angeles to join some great friends on a road trip to the Grand Canyon back in October, and what would a lengthy […]
