2012 in Review and Looking Ahead to 2013
Although I had only one big solo trip this year, what a trip it was! Driving from San Diego to Seattle with a side trip to Yosemite National Park. 2,099.8 miles from start to finish. Twenty-two days and nights on the road. Countless moments of wonder. This was my 2012 in travel.
Merry Christmas!
Just wanted to take a moment to wish all of you an amazing holiday! Hope you’re spending the day with your family and friend and eating lots of good food. Merry Christmas! xoxo, Marsha

Thanksgiving, meet Black Thursday.
Big Sur: Natural Beauty on the California Coast

I sincerely can’t think of a more visually captivating place than this stunning stretch of the California coast between San Simeon and Carmel.
