Wine Tasting in Temecula

 Happy Wine Wednesday!  Today I'm sharing a new favorite spot for all my SoCal followers.  I recently visited Temecula, southern California's wine country, and had the best time at one of the newest wineries and tasting rooms, Bottaia Winery.

Road Trip to Big Sur + Stops Along the Way


Over Labor Day weekend, Angel and I took a road trip up to Big Sur.  The goal of the trip was to enjoy the drive, the views along Pacific Coast Highway, and stop at a few spots along the way.

From home, the drive to Big Sur takes about 7+ hrs. We decided to split up the drive into 2 days, stopping in Santa Barbara the 1st night.

Photo Diary: LA for my Birthday + a Few New Favorite Spots

For my 31st birthday Angel and I headed up to LA for the weekend.  We live just a couple of hours away so it was a fun getaway.  Lately, we've headed to LA more frequently and always find ourselves wanting to do more.  This time, we decided not to stay for the usual 12 hours.  We took advantage of the long weekend and booked a room at The Nomad Hotel.  Explored a few new spots, enjoyed our beautiful hotel, and even got to spend time with family who I haven't seen in years.

In today's post, I'll be sharing some photos and recommendations for your next visit to LA.
