Pacific Coast Highway 1: We took a gorgeous drive down the US west coast in 2009. Our scenic drive took a pause at a farmer's market where whiskey barrels and dinner plate sized dahlias offered interesting and beautiful ideas for gardening. As we drove along the Pacific Ocean, it was our first time to see Elephant seals in the wild. Read more
