Hi guys!  How was your weekend?  Mine was pretty great.  It was filled with a my sister-in-law's baby shower, a Christmas party, baking cookies and doo-dads, and some lazy couch time with Canean.  I realized that I haven't even had time to share with you some of my favorite images from my road trip that I went on in November because my schedule has been so crazy for the past month or so.  The trip from California to Oregeon was one of the most beautiful that I have ever been on and I just had to share with you a few of my favorite images of some of the gorgeous places that I saw!  From Range to Sea, I am still not sure what my favorite thing was.

I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to experience such beauty and parts of the country that I had, up until this trip had only seen on postcards and in movies.  From the mountains, to the ocean, and everything in between I was utterly gobsmacked at what I saw in every new place that we drove through.  

We took a hike up to a gorgeous view of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California.

First stop on the side of the road on our way to Oregon where we drove our minivan down a gravel road to get a closer look at this view.  Lake Shasta, California where the colors are insane...

A view from the road...

New friends in McMinnville, Oregon.

Sokol Blosser Winery.

The Oregon Coast.  Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach.

Gorgeous right?  I could have shared a hundred more pictures, but these were some of my favorite.

I met new friends, experienced new places, formed deeper bonds with two girlfriends, learned about myself, was inspired, and have enough memories and inside jokes to last a lifetime.

We were Irene, Linda, and Virginia traveling by minivan, seeking adventure and wildness with a desire to live life to the fullest.  Because on roadtrips, alter egos are a must, especially when there is a minivan involved...
