My friend Lisa & I recently took a trip up the West Coast. We flew out to LA then slowly made our way up to coast to Seattle in a 10 day trip, making stops at Big Sur, San Francisco, Napa Valley & Portland. We fit so many things into our explorations of these cities (because we actually woke up by 8 am every single morning- I was so proud of us) including hiking, concerts, sight-seeing, beach-going, driving with the top down on the 101, making friends with city locals, spending way too much money for juice, bar-hopping, & exploring wineries, breweries, coffee shops. Buuuut sometimes I get a little lazy when photographing when I’m “off the job” because I always am backed up on editing other people’s photos, I don’t want to worry about having to edit my own too. So I basically just whipped out my real camera on all our hiking expeditions on the vacation. So here are some shots on our hikes in LA, Big Sur & Portland.
