Sticking with the evident theme of “out-of-the-ordinary” attractions along Highway 101, have y’all met my friend Paul?

Stadium Stories | Boston Bruins
This past December I was in Massachusetts for a long weekend and there was no way I was going to travel across the country and not see a Boston Bruins hockey game.

A Grand Ball and a Soccer Ball | My Summer 2016 Plans
I recently passed the three year anniversary since I made my initial pond-hop to England (and started this blog!) and it feels like a lifetime ago. Returning to the UK has been on my mind pretty much since the day I left it so I am thrilled to announce that I will be crossing the Atlantic […]
California’s Gold
As a child, sitting in the car for eight hours on a road trip up Highway 101 was a pretty normal thing. My family made this pilgrimage annually to visit my grandparents that live in the last town before the Oregon state line, so I got pretty familiar with all the different cities and rest […]

Cabo San Lucas Snapshots
Seven day, four families, 21 people… what kind of chaos can ensue, you may wonder? Well, the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup, followed by the Warriors winning the Larry O’Brain Championship Trophy. A 175lb marlin was caught, some people went flying off jetskis, large amounts of alcohol was consumed and some major sunburning occurred. Donuts were […]
