PSP → LAX → SFO.

A year ago today I drove from Palm Springs to LA, then got up the next day and drove to San Francisco. All alone, in the tiny rental car pictured below, it was fantastic. I took notes and intended to blog some of my two-week vacation, but it never happened. Now that I'm trapped in snowy Chicago, suffering from the grad school blues, I thought I'd reflect… on sunnier times.

It's no secret, I have mad love for California and it's a struggle not to visit every year. Highlights from this trip include: great modern architecture, an open road, sunshine, the beach, and amazing friends along the way. #iwanttogotothere
