Cambria, California is a small, lovely seaside town about 20 minutes north of Morro Bay. It makes a great stop if you are driving between LA and San Francisco, and is close to some cool sites in the central coast area like Hearst Castle, the elephant seals at San Simeon, and the Paso Robles winery…

Painting the California Coastline – Part 1
I’m working on an art collection inspired by the Central Coast area of California in and around San Luis Obispo county. While I’ve been living in Morro Bay for a couple of months, I’ve been especially inspired by the ocean and the colors that form where the sky meets the water on the horizon. I…

A #TinyHouse Tour
Happy Thursday friends! We are currently enjoying rural California, and I wanted to do a little tour of our two-week #TinyHouse AirBnb. Tiny Homes seem to be getting more and more popular over the past few years (there is even a “Tiny House” filter on AirBnb now!), so I’m excited to see one up close.…

New Orleans, 1990
In 1990, New Orleans and me… we looked like this: This weekend, I’m Louisiana bound again. So we’ll see how much things have changed! To set the mood, some New Orleans tunes: jazz, r&b, funk… you know the drill. I pulled together a few fave songs for the road. You can listen,…

Washington, DC
Until last year, I had never been to the US capital. It was a place I’d always wanted to visit, but somehow never had the chance. And now that I’ve seen it, I know that I love it. The people, the bustle, the food, the museums, the news crews – this city has a lot…

A Roman Holiday, part 1
I got to spend 11 days in Rome, and enjoyed exploring around the vast city that has been home to so much civilization and culture. Rome has everything from quiet gardens around the Villa Borghese… …and ancient ruins from the Roman Empire… …to modern iconic Italian vespas, political flags, accordions, music…. There are so many…
