San Francisco is a city known for its diverse and eclectic food scene. From classic seafood dishes at Fisherman’s Wharf to the famous sourdough bread, there is no shortage of delicious and unique eats to indulge in while visiting this hilly city. Recently we where in SF to help my brother in law propose to […]
So, I am thinking I am going to start titling all my travel articles “Passport to…” Do we think that’s cute? I was thinking about my blog branding and how I could improve and I’m hoping that Passports & Papers still makes sense. If you’ve never read about the blog, it’s name, or me you […]
Or course, all our major plans for 2020 were canceled. Like our June trip to Peru and a family visit to Paris to see Henri’s grandparents. But, what really led us to the beachside town of Carlsbad? A restaurant called Cold Beers and Cheeseburgers. A basic name? Yes, but the burgers are so good! We […]
Like the rest of the world our travel plans for 2020 were canceled. I couldn’t take much more of being home and to be honest, I was feeling major burnout from working remotely. I knew I needed a few days to disconnect and get outside. Luckily for me, I live in California which is home […]

Henri is from Orange County and works there, so we spend a lot of time in the OC. I grew up going to Newport Dunes as a kid so you can say we’re local experts. Since I do spend a lot of time there I thought I would introduce you to a new section of […]
Joshua Tree is just a short car ride away, depending on where you are in SoCal. For us in Los Angeles, it’s only about 2 hours away. This desert national park is great for hiking, rock climbing, and star gazing. We don’t rock climb, but it was neat to see other visitors making their way […]
How am I barely writing about Disneyland? If you know me personally, you know I am a huge Disney fan! I was a Disney annual passholder nearly all my life! I had my quinceañera (the Hispanic equivalent to a sweet sixteen) at Disneyland Hotel. I even worked for The Walt Disney Company as an intern […]
I finally picked some photos from our summer road trip up Pacific Coast Highway to highlight in this California scrapbook page. The drive up was slightly gloomy, but still breathtaking. Though the sky looked slightly dull in my photos the colors from the ocean and hills were still bright. So I knew that the paper […]
The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens is a fun way to spend a sunny afternoon. I had been once before maybe 10 years ago, I didn’t remember how big it was and at that time the Japanese Garden was down for renovations. The Chinese and Japanese gardens were by far my favorite part. […]
