Have you ever been on a holiday that was more than just a holiday?

Around this time last year my now-fiancé and I were reading reviews, booking hotels and planning our route for driving down the West Coast of America through California.

Excited was an understatement! Growing up, my family owned a little touring caravan (seriously, people have porches bigger than this caravan..) and we had many a staycation involving outside toilets, rainy days and board games. I wouldn’t change these trips for the world (let’s say they were character building..) but never in my wildest dreams did I think one day I would go to America,  Land of Dreams, and see some of the best it has to offer for myself.

We experienced breathtaking scenery, amazing food and some of the friendliest people we’ve ever met and I can’t squish all of that into one little blog post… so I’ve decided to start a little mini series just for you guys! Little snapshots of our Cali escapades…

Because when you come home and you actually grieve for a holiday that’s finished then it’s probably worth telling people about it.

This isn’t a travel blog, I know, so the mini series will be interspersed amongst baking posts, market posts, moaning posts… all the usual. And let’s be honest, a lot will revolve around food because I love it and I live for it and if I’m truly honest I’m just a little bit greedy.

So until the next one…. have a nice day y’all!
