[Photo of the Day] The View of the Golden Gate Bridge from Baker Beach, San Francisco, CA

Today’s photo of the day is from the place I call home – the San Francisco Bay Area. I’ve seen the Golden Gate Bridge from many different views, but this one was definitely the BEST! We drove to Baker Beach, where you can walk on the beach and towards the bridge. The short stroll on […]

Maps at the Speakeasy of Libraries – Prelinger Library, San Francisco, USA

A few weeks ago, I visited the Prelinger Library after my friend sent me this article from Wired’s MapLab: Rarely Seen Maps From San Francisco’s Quirkiest Hidden Library. What a treat! It was like a speakeasy, but in library form because I found the code on their website and when we approached the building I […]

Roadtripping through Death Valley National Park (CA) & Zion National Park (UT)!

I love road trips! This last one was quite the last minute adventure, but the planning all came together beautifully. The thing with road trips is that they are made for last minute planning because you have your car and the road, and the rest you can just figure it out as you go. The […]
