since i don't have a "summer break" anymore and i had dance rehearsals almost every weekend of summer, the only chance i had to get away was fourth of july weekend. aaron and i actually planned this trips months before i even committed to nisei week and fourth of july weekend was one of the only weekends available at treebones resort. luckily, i had dance rehearsal off that weekend too! i guess it was meant to be. i heard about treebones when my friend showed me a picture of a yurt in big sur. i immediately start researching and booked it for aaron and i when i saw they had an opening. not only have i never stayed in a yurt before, but i've never been to big sur. it would be a trip of firsts -- my favorite! we only stayed the minimum two nights and luckily, i took a day off of work so we left in the afternoon on a thursday and we drove back down saturday on the fourth.
before we actually got to big sur, we made a couple stops in santa barbara and san luis obispo since it was on the way and we needed to eat some lunch. we ate on the pier in santa barbara at a seafood restaurant and stopped to get a pitaya bowl in slo -- i couldn't resist getting the bright pink one!
