PCH – Day Six – Crescent City, CA to Gualala, CA – The Redwoods
Side note before we get into the day … So, not so funny story to start the day … if you read yesterday‘s blog, you know we got to the hotel around 9:15, which is late for us. Hunter helped unload the car and immediately got into bed (showers in morning). As I was blogging…

15 Day Road Trip from Seattle to San Diego: Pacific Coast Highway Adventure
This trip began germinating when I began working at Dime. Thanks to a 1950s banking regulation, I am forced to take ten business days in a row of vacation. With ten days plus weekends, Hunter and I can do some serious exploring. My first thought was to drive The Lincoln Highway, but the more I…

Cheeky’s
Breakfast at Cheeky’s was a must! A flight of bacon and eggs Benedict with. Mimosa chaser was a great start to the day.

California – Disneyland
When I first entered Disneyland, I remember thinking, meh… I grew up on the Florida ideal of the property! We all know that Land is small and cramped. When planning World, Walt bought up as much Florida swampland as possible. So, I was not ready to love Land as much as I do… My first…

Disneyland
To enter this park is to walk in Walt’s immediate footsteps. You enter the world he created…his immediate vision, and sure, it has changed and grown over the years, but there is just something special and different about this park. It took me a hot second, but I really do love it now. I first…

The Smoke House
When I took The Warner Brothers Tour in 2019, the tour guide mentioned that behind the studio is a restaurant called The Smoke House. Not only is it an old Hollywood favourite, he proclaimed, but George Clooney ate there so much during ER, that he name his production company, Smoke House Productions. So when I…

Pink’s
709 N. La Brea Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90038 I am 98.3% sure I became aware of Pink’s when Demi Moore and Bruce Willis went there after their wedding. I got to go to the Las Vegas one, but nothing beats the original! And I always get the Mulholland Drive Dog: 9″ stretch dog, sautéed…

Salt & Straw
Sabrina and I stumbled upon this ice cream store on Abbot Kinney in 2019, and my world was turned upside down! Weird and wonderful… they have their Classic Flavors that never changes, but then comes the wackiness. Even though I got the classic flavour of Black Olive Brittle with Goat Cheese, it wasn’t on the…

In-N-Out Burger
I don’t know, y’all… I knew about it, but figured I’d never get west enough to have it and then in 2019 I went to California for the first time and made a point of getting it within days of arriving, but I only got it that one time, but I made up for it…

The Blind Rabbit
440 S Anaheim Blvd, Anaheim, CA 92805 I entered the The Blind Rabbit through sake barrels into the coolest 500 square feet I’ve ever seen. An actual speakeasy specializing in craft cocktails, I basically put my bartender in charge of my night and OMG! He made me two drinks that weren’t on the menu when…
