Next up: sun and sand in southern California

We're back! Read about our trip here.

We've thrown together a last-minute escape to southern California. Ben's cousin is getting married in LA at the end of June so we decided to make a trip out of it with the motorcycle.

We'll head down the coast on Route 1, with stops at the Hearst Castle and Santa Barbara.

Cross your fingers that we survive the LA freeways and make it to San Diego for a few days of relaxing on the beach. (The last time I went to San Diego, I was 6 and had the chicken pox. I'm hoping to avoid contagious diseases this time.)

We'll confront the summer heat for a few days of hiking at Joshua Tree National Park.

And drop by LA for a quick visit and the wedding before making a mad dash back to San Francisco the next day.
