(I have loved Stonefire Grill for several years now and was so excited when they invited me out to experience their newest location in Torrance. Alas, I could not make it to the South Bay in time so I had our awesome contributor, Melanie, go […]
While many California wine destinations (and just cool California towns in general) are on my radar. I admit, Livermore Valley was not a spot I knew much about nor was it much on my mind until last year. I also thought Livermore was in Sacramento […]
*Sponsored Post My first California road trip of 2018 is in the books. A few weeks back I had the chance to run up to San Luis Obispo County for a couple of days. Granted, this was in the middle of the dreadful and devastating […]
Another glorious weekend getaway to Carmel-by-the-Sea is in the books. Each visit for my husband and me has been so unique, yet manages to be more fun than our last trek. I’ve mentioned it’s usually been our mini vacation celebrating a first milestone–first trip as […]

While some may recall Paso Robles, California and its surrounding areas as not much more than cattle ranches and agricultural life, think again. Much like nearby Santa Maria, Paso Robles has come into the wine and travel scene with a vengeance with an adorable downtown, […]
