Point Conception
During our stay in Jalama Beach, we decided we would take a nice long hike south, along the California coastline to Point Conception. Andree had done some research and found out by leaving the campground and heading south along the beach for 6 or so miles, we would find a small path that lead us [...]
The Setting Suns
We had a few days with nothing on the calendar and we’ve both been itching for a road trip, so we packed up the car and took Sierra on her first camping trip. 5 hours later (love the LA traffic) we arrived in quaint Jalama Beach just south of Vanderburg AFB along the Pacific Ocean. [...]
