Hey friends,
We’re back from the most magical week on the California coast, and my camera roll is overflowing with coastal views, hidden beaches, and the most stunning trails.
We started our trip in San Francisco with a stay at the iconic Palace Hotel. And yes, Eesa did eat Oreos off the floor of the same suite RBG once stayed in 💀 Parenting wins all around.
We took a day trip to Muir Woods where the redwoods were even more majestic than I imagined. Then, we made our way down the coast to Monterey, Carmel by the sea and finally Big Sur.
Carmel completely stole my heart. I couldn’t get enough of the fairytale cottages, tiny boutiques, and storybook charm! I’m already plotting a return trip.
Now we’re back in Houston, unpacking bags, sorting through photos, and gearing up for part two of the book photoshoot next month. I still can’t believe we’re in the final stretch of writing my book! It’s starting to feel real real.
Until next time,
Fariha
