Day Trip: San Diego to San Luis Capistrano
The last day of Mom and Dad’s trip promised to be slightly dreary, weather-wise. Considering that there’s not much to do in San Diego on bad weather days even in the best of times, I wanted to think of a fun activity. I decided we should try to out-travel the clouds and head North on…

Napa Monday
Model’s After a good night’s sleep I woke up to go to work Napa! Yes! I had the day off because my favorite godmother Auntie was in town with two of her friends.

Sunny San Diego Weekend!
SMS and I are in San Diego! Yay! As much as I try to pretend that there’s no difference in the weather, it’s definitely warmer here. All Winters are not alike! We came down Thursday night and were picked up by his parents. It was pouring rain! Apparently, it had been raining for almost four…

Mini Road Trip: Bodega Bay, Stinson Beach and Mt. Tam
