Me in our teeny, tiny home-away from home.















We spent Easter weekend glamping in an Airstream trailer deep in the mountains of Big Sur.

It seemed appropriate since Big Sur is one of those places that God, The Universe, etc. seems to inhabit more actively than say, Hollywood Blvd.

It was my first trip up Highway 1 and luckily the California coastline did not disappoint.
























The incredible view from a trail at the Post Ranch Inn.

 

The tasting menu at Sierra Mar.

 

Another? Sure, why not.


EAT

On Saturday we had lunch at Sierra Mar, the restaurant attached to the Post Ranch Inn (I plan to stay here when I’m rich and famous) if you don’t want to break the bank on accommodations I highly suggest coming here for the lunch or dinner tasting menu. I also highly suggested doing the wine pairing which even the waiter will tell you gives a proper buzz. It’s vacation!
On Sunday we had lunch at Big Sur Bakery which is just the coziest, snuggliest, yummiest place. We also hit this spot up for coffee and pastries on our morning jaunts to Pfeiffer Beach aka my favorite place on the planet earth.

 

 

 

BBQ and a Bluemoon.

 

STAY

We wanted to bring our pup on this particular adventure so after doing some research we settled on Glamping.
Having the option to cook on our own gas grill, take hot outdoor showers and fall asleep to the sound of rain hitting the roof of our little Airstream trailer made the weekend even more secluded and romantic.

 

BYOCC (bring your own coconut creamer)

TAKE AWAY

We scored some fun and camp friendly enamelware from the River Village Inn deli. Mark had been wanting those old fashioned tin mugs and I have to say that it did feel rustic to drink from them around the fire pit.
Also Big Sur soaps. They are divine (especially in an outdoor shower). I may have bought ten.

Thanks to NEFF for the awesome headwear!

Hope this inspires you to take a mini-break somewhere you’ve been wanting to go.
