PCH – Day Ten – San Simeon, CA to Oxnard, CA
This was the day that wasn’t originally planned… I slowed down the trip to lessen one day in LA so we could explore Cambria, Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, and Santa Barbara. Before leaving San Simeon, we went looking for zebras. We even found one! Yes, we did! As Travis Tritt said, “That’s…

PCH – Day Nine – Monterey, CA to San Simeon, CA
If you know me — or have read past blogs — you know I love Carmel-by-the-Sea. This adorable village feels like it magically stepped off the pages of a childhood storybook. It’s a delightful blend of easy-breezy West Coast vibes with a Hamptons-chic kicker… but in the best way. Welcoming to all visitors, I’ve been…

PCH – Day Eight – San Francisco, CA to Monterey, CA
This morning started… Well, let’s just say it started. Last night I went to the Budget Rent-A-Car in my hotel to see if I could trade my car because it needed oil. Like then the light that is not a suggestion but screaming at me for days that it needed oil. He said no problem,…

PCH – Day Seven – Gualala, CA to San Francisco, CA
Some mornings I start with a full face of make-up and some mornings, I barely slap face lotion on. This was a face lotion morning. The bathroom was so tiny. There was not enough room to put anything out. However, it was a really nice hotel room and our view is gorgeous even if through…

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…

PCH – Day Five – Garibaldi, OR to Crescent City, CA
I have been looking to this day for months!!!!! Just wait to see what we do!!! Up at the crack of dawn and by 8:30 we were at Depoe Bay for whale watching where we met the mayor, Cathy as she was tending the flowerbeds. Depoe Bay holds the world’s smallest harbor, but also, look…

PCH – Day Four – Forks, WA to Garibaldi, OR
Last night’s sleep was not the best I’ve ever had… Hunter snored like a freight train and due to the amount of rainfall in Forks the room was damp and had an odor. I mean it was a clean room … there was nothing wrong with it, but it just smelled, so around midnight I’ve…

PCH – Day Three – Mount Rainier to Forks, WA
After a restful night’s sleep on a mattress so comfy I am making note of it, Hunter and I started our way out of Mount Rainier National Park, but not before stopping at Narada Falls and Christine Falls. Christine Falls was gorgeous. There was a small tiny off-road hike to get down to see the…

PCH – Day Two – Seattle to Mount Rainier
After a very very long day, a thunderstorm ripped through Seattle like I’ve never heard in my entire life. There were long stretches in between thunderclaps, but they were incredibly loud. I truly didn’t understand how Hunter slept through all of it. But he did. I woke after eight hours and Hunter after 11 hours.…

PCH – Day One – Seattle
We arrived so late last night (1:00am my time EST), but we stayed at a hotel just three miles from the airport. And with me being me, I had my Target run done about a year ago, so this morning the first thing we did was do a drive-in and pick up the essentials, but…
