Travel – Not So SAHM

Winter Drive

I don’t remember where we were when I took this picture. But I tend to like taking pictures of roads that are cut through tall trees, hugging in on both sides. The original photo was definitely nothing special. Head over to Project Edit 365 to see the original and how different it looks with theContinue reading “Winter Drive”

San Juan Bautista

Near Monterey, stands a mission along the California Mission Trail. It also stands on the San Andreas Fault! San Juan Bautista is a beautiful, small mission founded in 1797. Below is the church.

Due in part to this nonviolent protest, PresidentContinue reading “Edmund Pettus Bridge”

It gets cold in the winter though, and at that point who wants to be out sailing? As we were driving into town we passed by theseContinue reading “Docked for the Winter”
