When my friend Cathy and I decided to take a weekend trip down to California's Central Coast, there was no question which way we would go--the long way down Highway 1 through Big Sur. California's Highway 1 is the state's most famous drive, and one of the most famous road trip routes in the world. The stretch that goes through Big Sur is one of the most dramatic. It twists and turns with views ...
5 Lessons I Learned From Driving In Italy
"You got a certified letter... from Italy!" Our mailman handed me an envelope, and I grabbed it enthusiastically, thinking I'd won a trip or was getting some other exciting news. I should have known better. It was speeding ticket. I owe the town of "Val di Merse" (?) 189.15 euros. Fark.

While Tokyo's Tsukiji Market is famous for their ...
The Things We Do
I'm spending my blog time this week editing photos, including those from a few recent weekend trips. First, and most challenging to work through (because we took over 1,000 shots!), was the New Year's weekend trip we took to Southern New Mexico's Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Reserve. Photography is serious business on Kevin's side of the family. While I consider myself kind of obsessed ...
Visiting Yosemite, Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks: A California Road Trip
There's this saying that Californians often use when boasting about the state's blessed geography: "we can surf in the morning, and ski in the afternoon." I've said it myself, never mind that I don't surf, nor ski--the point is I could if I wanted to. I recently discovered one more beautiful thing to add to our bragging rights: The ability to visit 3 national parks in 3 days! A few ...
