I hope everyone enjoyed all of our fun road trip pictures.  It was one of the funnest trips I have been on, I can't wait to make it down to San Fran again before we move back home!

San Francisco | our road trip adventures

San Francisco was a very busy city for us on our trip.  From exploring Alcatraz, riding bikes across the Golden Gate Bridge, & walking the city we were in for a fun treat the minute we got into town.  We had a blast & I hope you enjoyed looking at our pictures! San Francisco was an awesome city to visit, if you are ever on the west coast, I would make this city a stop on your list!

Road Trip | Pacific Ocean & Napa Valley

On our road trip, we could have taken multiple routes to get to San Francisco.  We took the long route, with Highway 101.  It was definitely worth the extra hour drive on the trip down to San Fran because we were able to look at the beautiful scenery, drive through the Redwoods, & see Napa Valley.  I honestly think taking this route was the best part of the trip.. until I got car sick from the many tight turns in the mountains.

|Welcome to the beautiful & sunny state of California!|



|Yes, I was wearing this outfit on our stop to the Rose Gardens, this picture was 6 hours after the Rose Gardens!|



|Pacific Ocean|



|Welcome to wine country!|



|This afternoon was spent day drinking, & eating macaroons.  I could get use to this lifestyle.|

Road Trip | Redwood Forest

After Portland, we stopped in a small city in Northern California to stay the night before we stopped in to see the beautiful Redwood Trees.

|Avenue of the Giants|



|Chandelier Tree; California has 3 of these drive through trees.  We found one & had to drive through it on our way through the Redwoods.  Cody has a truck so it was a little tricky to get his vehicle through the tree.  The truck had about half an inch on either sides of the tree & I thought we were going to get stuck. |





|We did it!|



|I had to get a few outfit pictures in the forest.  The lighting turned out pretty bad since the trees are massive they covered  up the sun!  Let's get real though, this post is all about the trees!|




With completing a 16 hour road trip down a coast, I realized that packing basics that can layer easily is the best way to pack for road trips.  The weather can be a very tricky thing to keep in mind while packing for a week long trip, especially when you are stopping in different cities down a coast.  I made sure to bring multiple short & long sleeve shirts, button ups, & my handy dandy leather jacket (more about this basic later).
