These past 3 days, Kevin and I have pretty much covered the entire state of California — driving first from LA to Sacramento, then hitting up Lassen National Park and Mt. Shasta. We’re nearly in Oregon! It’s the third day of our four-day journey and need to start heading back South….
Today’s itinerary is an ambitious one. And covers just about everything Kevin and I love — foodie destinations, active volcanoes, snow-covered hiking trails. Actually, I’m okay without the snow! And of course, any itinerary with me includes a little bit of shopping (Kevin has no choice here). And yes, all the…
If you love long road trips, this one is for you! Our goal: drive from Los Angeles to Lassen National Park then continue to Mt Shasta, a trip that would take 8 1/2 hours if you went non-stop. But that would be crazy! I get antsy sitting in traffic for an…
It’s so easy to get sucked into LA’s car centric ways. Before moving to LA six years ago, I lived in San Francisco where I didn’t even have a car. If I needed to get somewhere I’d either walk or arrive on my push scooter (which only in San Francisco a…
We’ve been finding ourselves in Downtown LA a lot lately. Six years ago when Kevin and I first moved to West Hollywood, we would occasionally brave a trip downtown… more out of curiosity than anything. There were a few coffee shops we enjoyed, but nothing that made us really want to spend…
I’ve been wanting to visit the Antelope Valley Poppy Fields in Lancaster, California for at least 6 years now. And came up with a little road trip that combines a few fun things along the way (including a remote desert set where they shot scenes from Star Trek, Big Bang Theory…
It’s a road trip! This weekend, we headed about 1 hour North of Los Angeles to Lancaster, California. The remote desert city is home to mostly military families. But that’s not all – it has a road that plays the tune of the “William Tell Overture” as you drive over Avenue G….
Every Monday, there is that typical question at the office… So what did you do last weekend? A movie? Or that boring response of “nothing much”? But my office mates were intrigued when I told them about a California State Park with hundreds of acres of citrus groves. And in…
We were living in LA for at least 2 years before I heard about Idyllwild, California — a tiny mountaintop artist community that most pass right by while zipping to Palm Springs for the weekend. As one of the residents told me and Kevin, if you make it here 2…
I think my mom has found her new favorite place in California. Yesterday, I wrote about our first day experiencing the foodie adventures in Ojai. The fun continues as we hit the Sunday Farmer’s Market and take a cooking class at the Lavender Inn just steps away. Sunday – Day…
