California
We were planning to spend a week in California on our cross country trips, and ended up spending almost a year there. There’s so much incredible natural diversity. We learned how to surf, lived in the redwoods, saw the sequoias, we watched the dolphins almost daily... Cheers, Cali. Surf’s up.
