describe the best road trip you've ever taken

(The second bestest road trip would have to be any and all trips to Baja). You see, we are simple people, who love the adventure of spontaneity. No fancy resorts or crowded beaches. Just me, my hubby and the open road. For our honeymoon, we decided to spend two weeks on the road and take a trip up the coast from California, up to the Oregon coast. We camped and surfed on the way up and on the way back down. It was amaaaazing (as I bat my eyelashes and clasp my hand to my heart). I'm such a sucker for romance.

Before Brendon and I got engaged, we were both finishing up our studies, separately at college. I was up at UC Santa Cruz and Brendon was at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. We would visit each other between our studies and take mini trips to the Big Sur coast. To this day, we've continued the tradition of camping and surfing up there at least once, if not several, times a year. Sometimes we'd shoot up there by ourselves for a quick getaway and sometimes we'd meet up with friends and family.

It's our home away from home, and it's become a yearly road trip I most certainly always look forward to...
