Road Trip: California Coast
I recently took a road trip across the California coast with my mom. It was a precious picture: a five-day long mother-daughter vacation where we became one with nature (and my car).
If you’re a Californian and you haven’t yet trekked either up or down Highway 1 (aka the Pacific Coast Highway, aka PCH, aka all roads lead to Malibu), then for Barbara Millicent Robert’s sake, what are you waiting for?! The coastline is stunning, with red succulents blanketing the steep cliffs that lead down to slowly crashing waves. And ita��s even prettier when we have more rainfall than we did this year (sigh).
The trip is a rite of passage for all West Coasters. This time around, my mom and I left LA and headed straight to Walnut Creek to see family. Then we took our sweet time coming back home by way of Tiburon, Santa Cruz, Monterey, Carmel, Pebble Beach, Big Sur, San Simeon, and Morro Bay.
Charming handicrafts in Carmel, photographed while window-shopping. Had the store been open, I’d have been tempted to get that Berkeley pillow!
