Even though I’m only an hour away from Miami, I love zipping down there for a long weekend. And Washington Park Hotel makes it seem like I’m on vacation the second I check in. The art deco hotel, located in South Beach, is the perfect home base while you explore everything that Miami has to offer. Close to the beach (and with it’s own beach access/chairs), Washington Park Hotel is anything but an ordinary place. Checking Into Washington Park Hotel…
***My favorite part of blogging is the community that I’ve created, and that includes all of the amazing influencers that I’ve been able to meet (either in real life or via the internet). Because of that (and because I’m constantly inspired by the people I follow) I’ll be starting a new series where every other week I ask a few of my favorite travel bloggers/Instgrammers/photographers/influencers/badasses some questions about the things they won’t go on a trip without. This fourth week I’ve…
Now if I’m being honest, I have to share that I wasn’t exactly the biggest fan of Venice Beach (I will however say I loved Abbot Kinney Blvd.). But, staying at The Kinney Venice Beach was the bright spot during that portion of the trip to California. As soon as we stepped out of the Uber and into the lobby, I was blown away by the decor.

That’s why Hannah and I decided that we didn’t want to make the trip to Hollywood, or really do any crazy touristy things (but yes we did make a trip to Rodeo drive). So now you’re probably thinking about things you can’t miss in LA. What do you think…
After spending several nights on the road, I was so excited to be checking into an adorable boutique hotel bordering Beverly Hills. The Carlyle Inn is a breath of fresh air when it comes to hotels in LA. It’s a smaller property (with only 32 rooms) and is the perfect oasis from the traffic ridden streets of LA. Checking In: The Carlyle Inn While the affordable hotel is close by to Beverly Hills, the famous Rodeo Drive, LACMA, and several…
Despite the little hiccup we had regarding my health during our trip to California, my favorite part of the entire trip was road tripping the Pacific Coast Highway. Luckily Hannah was a trooper and drove the entire way. So we hopped in our Jucy van and made our way from Lake Tahoe to Santa Cruz. From there we spent the night at a small hotel in town and drove to Monterey to check out the 17 mile drive. After that…
