For the past nine years now we have been spending our summers at Montecito Sequoia Lodge, located in the Sequoia National Forest. This is probably my favorite place to visit every single year because to me it feels like a true vacation and I think I will rave about this place until the day I… Continue reading Let me tell you about Montecito
Have I told you guys recently about Montecito Sequoia Lodge? I’m pretty sure I probably mentioned this place in a previous post; it holds such a special spot in our heart and is such a gem, it bears mentioning again. My husband happened to stumble upon Montecito Sequoia Lodge nine years ago when he was… Continue reading Montecito in the snow
Montecito Sequioa Lodge was everything and more. I loved it for its comfortable simplicity and reminder of what’s truly beautiful in life. Family. Connection. Nature. No TV. No internet. As we began our departure from Orange County and 45 minutes into our 7 hour car drive we heard Celeste’s voice from the back seat “why… Continue reading The beginning of a family tradition
Last I left off we were in Borrego Springs, the kind of place that is so remote and small that you intentionally have to be going there.

We’re staying at this really cute and Eco friendly hotel named Eiffel Seine which is like 5 minutes walking distance to the Eiffel Tower. It’s… Continue reading Connected, in Paris
A week ago today, before all the devastating events that happened in Japan, I had posted that my husband and I had booked our trip to Tokyo & Kyoto and how excited we were to finally be visiting Japan. With everything that’s been going on, especially all the recent explosions and radiation leaks, it looks… Continue reading Change Of Plans
This is strange, I submitted this post last night but for some reason it didn’t post. So my husband and I might be going to Japan during Spring break! Nothing concrete yet, we just started looking at air/hotel deals and getting some information. I’m really excited because whether or not we decide to go to… Continue reading Maybe Japan?
I am itching to escape and travel somewhere with my husband. We were talking about this on Sunday, how great it would be to visit Japan. Neither of us has ever been. We just need to plan around our school schedule because we can only really enjoy time off during Spring break otherwise we’ll need to wait until the semester ends to… Continue reading The Travel Bug Is Lurking
