From Sedona to Salvation: Salvation Mountain

On the way home from Sedona we decided to stop at a magical little place called Salvation Mountain. For those of you who don't know, Salvation Mountain was built by Leonard Knight as a message of love in the middle of nowhere desert California (Niland, CA to be exact). There are messages of love and God sprawled all throughout the man made mountains. It's about a 3 hour drive from L.A. so I highly recommend stopping at this sight on the way out or back from a road trip. Although it's an awesome place to visit, it's not terribly big and would feel like a lengthy trip in comparison to the magnitude of the sight. On the way home I opted for a cozy look that could work for an ... read more

From Sedona to Salvation: Sedona, AZ

Living on the West Coast has its perks. Like having the ability to make reasonable road trips out to some of the most beautiful sites in America. To celebrate Franco and I's 8 year anniversary (yes you read that right, we're actually high school sweethearts) we decided to head out to explore the new age mecca that is Sedona, and all it had to offer. The Drive It took us about 7 hours or so to get to Sedona. Traffic leaving LA wasn't terrible and the views were pretty cool along the way. I was so taken back by the amount of cacti in the state of Arizona. They're everywhere and soooo big! I'm not sure what they feed those things, but it's seriously ridiculous how gorgeous and strong the ... read more

South of the Border: One Night in Baja California

Two days before the MLK Jr. holiday weekend began Franco and I came up with the idea to escape to Baja California, Mexico. Well, what started as a half hearted idea became a reality two days later when we headed to Union Station to catch a train towards San Diego. The Border Our trip started downtown at Union Station. We took the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner from LA to San Diego. The train dropped us off in Santa Fe Plaza where we hopped on the Blue Line trolley towards San Ysidro. From Santa Fe Plaza it's about a 30-45 minute ride to the San Ysidro Border Line (also the trolley's last stop). Once at the final stop there are clearly marked pedestrian walkways and currency exchange tellers, ... read more

Zonin Out: Page, AZ & The Grand Canyon

I have always been a huge fan of the state of Arizona growing up, so you can only imagine how excited I was to finally road trip to Lower Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and the Grand Canyon. Our day in Arizona was a part of our overarching road trip to Zion National Park. We spent our first day in Zion, our second day in Page/the Grand Canyon, and the last day back at Zion. If you're a 90s kid then you know what Lower Antelope Canyon is. It's best recognized as the Windows wallpaper from back in the day lol. And the Grand Canyon, well that goes without saying. Here's all the deets on how to make the most out of a day in Arizona coming from Zion National Park: The Drive The drive ... read more

First Timer’s Guide to Zion National Park

Last weekend Franco and I took our first road trip to a National Park. In one weekend we went to Zion National Park, Page, Arizona, and the Grand Canyon. The drive was absolutely surreal and gave even more validation to the saying "West is Best." I've always had a weird obsession with Arizona, so I knew that our later stops would be amazing, but Utah was seriously awesome. I feel like Utah just doesn't get the credit that it deserves. It's a gorgeous state with some fabulous scenery and home to one of the most beautiful national parks ever, Zion. We went to Zion in the start of their winter season, so it wasn't super packed and it was starting to get really nippy. I'm talking 30 degrees ... read more
