One of the places that my kids enjoyed a lot on our trip to California was the elephant seal rookery. This is located near San Simeon and not far from Hearst Castle. It was fun to hang out watching them and see a lot of unique behaviors. There was a […]
Two of the highlights of our California trip were Alcatraz and getting to photograph the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco as the sun went down from Hawk Hill. Alcatraz was a great visit. It was very informative and well done and was really cool to see. Definitely one spot […]
It’s sad to hear of all of the damage being done by the fires out in California. Some of the places that we traveled on our trip last year have definitely been affected. On our trip we tried to cover a lot of Southern California from San Diego up to […]

During our California trip last summer we took the Pebble Beach 17 mile drive drive just South of Monterrey. Overall, the drive was a bit disappointing as a lot of it was through neighborhoods with limited scenic viewpoints. The Lone Cypress is the emblem for the Pebble Beach golf tournament […]
Two more views of the Golden Gate Bridge from California, last summer. The bridge was definitely one of my highest priority photo locations from our California trip last year. I have seen so many pictures of the bridge and wanted to capture a few of my own and from as […]
