We visited Joshua Tree National Park last week and We visited Joshua Tree National Park last week and it was truly magical. While we didn't do any big hikes or bouldering or camping like many park visitors, we still had a great time taking in the beautiful landscape. The park turns up its charm for both sunrise and sunset. I took full advantage of golden hour - the lighting was perfect šŸ‘Œ Check out my blog for tips on taking pictures in Joshua Tree National Park. Link in bio.

During our weekend in Solvang, we decided to head During our weekend in Solvang, we decided to head to the coast (only about a 15 minute drive) and discovered Gaviota State Beach. Compared to our beaches closer to home, this beach was way less crowded and social distancing was a breeze! It definitely helped that the campground was closed for the season, otherwise, I expect this would have been busier. Entry is $10/vehicle (they did come around and check cars) and there is ample parking right next to the beach. No stairs or steps down. Clean bathrooms available. No other amenities nearby so definitely pack food and drinks. Have you discovered any new beaches this year? #californiabeaches #beachesincalifornia #santabarbara #santabarbarabeaches #santabarbaracounty #solvang #solvangusa #solvangcalifornia #daytripsfromsolvang #gaviota #gaviotastatepark #gaviotastatebeach #gaviotatrestle #beachesforkids #familytravel #familybeachday #bestbeaches #bestbeachesforfamilies #familybeachtrip #beautifulplaces #beautifulbeaches #kidsatplay #kidsatbeach #beachkids #sunsetphotos #sunset #millionmilermom #castateparks #californiastateparks

For those who road trip, how often do you stop? Do For those who road trip, how often do you stop? Do you pre-plan stops or find places along the way? . . We did a weekend trip to Yosemite National Park this past weekend. It's about 2.5-3 hours drive so we planned a pit stop at around the two hour mark to avoid any meltdowns. To make it special, I found a place that did both wine and olive oil tasting and had plenty of room for the kids to run around. Highly recommend @vistaranchmerced - you can make a booking online ahead of time. . . #roadtrip2020 #familyvacationplanning #familyroadtrip #roadtrip #roadtrippingusa #roadtrippin #yosemite #yosemitenationalpark #yosemitenps #nationalparkpass #nationalparkswithkids #mercedcalifornia #vistaranchandcellars #vistaranch #winetasting #winetastingwithkids #roadtrippitstop #seeamerica #californiacentralvalley #visitfarmswithkids #oliveoil #oliveoiltasting #pumpkinseason #fallcolors #fall #autumn #millionmilermom

I'm usually on calls all day so my evening hours a I'm usually on calls all day so my evening hours after the kids go to bed are when I do most of my work/emails. But, yesterday, I did something crazy and actually turned off my computer at 8pm and watched TV! . . I had been hearing some buzz about @emilyinparis on @netflix and I'm totally hooked (watched 3 episodes back to back!). It definitely made me miss exploring the world (both now and when I did solo travel in my 20s) as well as the perils of business travel. I took this pic during my 2010 long (overnight) layover in Paris. . . Have you checked out this show yet? If so, what do you think? . . #travelinspiration #netflix #thingstowatchonnetflix #emilyinparis #emilyinparisnetflix #travel #travelmemories #cantwaittotravelagain #imisstravelling #imisstravel #paris #eiffeltower #visitingparis #takemeback #throwbackthursday #tbt #millionmilermom
