I have always wanted to visit Death Valley. So as I’m driving from San Diego back home I had a change of plans. I stayed in Ramona with my fabulous college roommate last night, and after heading north on highway 15 to avoid the LA traffic, realized I’m not so far from Death Valley. So I’m off, or I should say, we’re off. I’m share photos and my adventures along the way!

San Diego Road Trip: Manhattan Beach Homes & The Beach House Hotel
The Strand, which runs between Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach California, has some beautiful homes. (It’s actually longer but on this trip we’re just walking between those two towns) The house which is in the photo above and below, are two of my favorite, although there are some beautiful smaller ones too. I wanted to show them to you along with some additional photos of The Strand and the beach:
You can see the contrast!
In addition, there is a beautiful hotel in Hermosa Beach called The Beach House Hotel. It is the only hotel in the area that actually sits right next to the beach. If you stay there you can watch the volley ball players, joggers, skaters and it’s really quite beautiful. www.beach-house.com
I’m just about packed and then we’re off to San Diego!
San Diego Road Trip: Sunrise Walk in Manhattan Beach
The early morning sun offers amazing light if you’re shooting photography. If you’re following along, yesterday we drove from Los Gatos to Hermosa Beach California via highway 101 and some backroads. This morning I got up at around 6am and headed off to Starbucks which is located in downtown Manhattan Beach. That involves walking along The Strand for about 2.5 miles. I stayed on The Strand for awhile and then walked over the sand to the ocean’s edge. The morning light was enchanting! Here are some of the pics I shot on my walk including breakfast:
Road Trip to San Diego Road Trip: Sunset in Hermosa Beach
Fabulous day! Watching the sunset and listening to the waves. Sweet dreams everyone 😉
San Diego Road Trip: Los Olivos & Route 157
We are on a 1200 mile round trip drive down to San Diego. We just left Morro Bay, jumped back on the 101, and then exited on an other back road to Santa Barbara. If you do this trip take route 157 toward Los Olivos. The town is fantastic! I had a grilled tri-tip sandwich from the general store. (PS, the pea soup place is Anderson’s and I changed my mind and explores Los Olivos instead 😉 Off to Santa Barbara! (The last picture is where I am right now!)
San Diego Road Trip: Pismo Beach
We just arrived in Pismo Beach! The last time I did this trip I found an incredible view I wanted to show you. It’s off the Price Street exit in front of the Best Western Plus hotel. I’ve never stayed here but the views from the rooms must be beautiful!
