Every Spring come mid-April the remote hills of Lancaster are blanketed with the same vibrant orange of poppies as they cover the surrounding landscape. And boy oh boy what a site to see! The Antelope Valley poppies in Lancaster bloom, wild and free, and this area provides one of the easiest and most guaranteed areas to see them. No need to wait for the Super Bloom, it’s super…

    I’m ALWAYS down for a fun staycation idea. And since discovering San Luis Obispo County and all the amazing, wonderful, spectacular, breath-takingly beautiful, and fun cities and places to explore in the area we have been trying to rediscover the lesser known areas (for us here in So Cal) that California has to offer. At a mere 3 + hour drive, this area isn’t too far to make a quick weekend getaway. And there is literally so much to see and do not only in Paso Robles but also on the road trip to get there, you will be kicking yourself for not going sooner. And as you explore you’ll…

Welcome to where Earth meets heaven at the sea, better known as Big Sur. Big Sur found on Central California’s Pacific Coast is an amazing spectacle where land dramatically meets foggy sea.
