A few weeks ago, Mark treated me to a trip to California as part of my birthday celebration. 

The first half of the trip was in Santa Barbara, where we took part in the My Favorite Murder’s My Favorite Weekend event. I’ll share more about that part of the trip later, because it definitely deserves a post all its own.

For now, I want to tell you about the second half of the trip, where we drove down the coastal highway of California in our rented Jeep, with the top off, looking effortlessly cool, like a couple of West Coast locals.
