On The Road

November 23rd, 2009

Up until last year, our new Thanksgiving tradition had been to spend the holiday in Big Sur.  We’d rent a car (see photo above) and drive Highway One all the way up to the Post Ranch Inn, one our favorite places in the world.

There’s nothing like getting out on the open road, and I think Kim and I are at our best when we’re driving somewhere, searching for a little adventure.  One of the truly great things about living in Southern California is that there are so many amazing destinations just a few hours drive away, and the landscapes along the way are often breathtaking to say the least (again, see above).   For example, the drive to Big Sur not only takes us along the incredibly scenic Pacific Coast Highway, but we pass through the rolling hills of wine country as well as the flat lands of the many strawberry farms.  It’s really something else, and even if it was possible to fly there, I would still prefer to drive.

This year, we’ll be staying in LA though, hosting our second-annual vegan feast on turkey day.  We’re very excited to have some of our favorite people over to enjoy the holiday and Kim’s great cooking, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that a part of me misses the ol’ road trip north.  Hopefully, we’ll get up there again soon enough, holiday or not.
