Driving the coast has been such a rewarding experience. I drove through tight twisty, turny mountain roads that I thought one wrong move would have us crashing down. We’ve seen elephant seals, whales breaching at dinner, beautiful sunsets and unforgettable views from the many look out points along the way. And of course seeing the Bixby Creek Bridge (behind me) and the huge Bixby Bridge. - It’s dope that you really don’t have to leave the country to experience a new adventure. #USA
Your 20s are for whatever tf you make them about.
Today I took a train ride through the Bear Creek Mountain on the oldest running locomotive in the United States. Things ya girl did not know: 1. Redwoods can live to be over 2,000 years old. The oldest dated to be about 2,200. 2. How do they know? The number of rings and the size of the rings on the tree. 3. The Native Americans used the trunks of the Redwoods to burn fires to keep the warm, and to also hide their food at night from enemies and wild animals.
I didn’t know how to drive an ATV, nor how to dig one out of the sand until yesterday. Did you really ride the dunes if you didn’t get stuck at least once?
So @salvo_of_antix had the bright idea to go riding ATVs in the sand dunes. Mind you, some of these dunes have a drop of up to 60 feet but HERE I AM YALL. 😂 - ATVs. Pismo Beach. SO WORTH IT!!
So, this was my first music festival and it was definitely worth the experience. Here’s a few tips that may help you along the way. 1. If they allow you to bring your own bottles (of water), do it. It’s wayyyy cheaper than purchasing bottles of water at the event. 2. Eat before you get there. If you’re there, with no re-entry, until the show is over then it’s definitely a plus to have at least one meal before hand so you don’t have to buy multiple meals there. There’s food options of course, but most meals started at $15 per plate. Of course that differs for every festival, but I’m assuming not by too much. 3. Wear comfy shoes!! You’ll likely be on your feet and jammin’ for most of the day so you definitely want to be comfortable! 4. Take cash. I didn’t do this, but if you put yourself on a cash-only budget, it will greatly help you cut down on what you actually spend. With food being around $15 and beers starting at $9, things add up quickly. #budgetsarebae 5. Don’t forget to have fun!! Soak up all the positive vibes, new music and great weather!
I looooove Venice Beach! All of the people to people watch, the bikes, the long long long beach itself (I swear it took like 15 minutes to hit the ocean) were amazing. We rented scooters and gave ourselves a lil tour of the beach lol. There are scooters randomly placed throughout the beach that you can rent for 0.12 cents per minute. We’re cheap (don’t judge lol) so we found a discount code that allowed us to ride for free! #CaliDreamin
