Whenever my family and I go on road trips, we visit all the states surrounding California, such as Arizona, Utah, and Oregon, but we always skip Colorado. So, naturally, we were excited to finally visit it! I decided to only go with my daughters, and we made it a girls trip. We booked our flight to the Colorado Springs airport instead of flying into Denver, and it was a great choice. The airport was way closer to everything that we wanted to do.

Let me start by saying: we’re not cruise people. Our ideal vacation usually involves avoiding crowds and exploring local gems... so booking a cruise wasn't something I was looking forward to.

We got to spend three days exploring San Simeon in August and this is our detailed itinerary and everything you need to know before your visit.

Nothing feels better than just parking that van wherever you like and waking up to amazing views especially during snowy season! No tent setup and five star views and I am here for it! The excitement to road trip with Moterra vans through the Pacific Northwest and in June is something we were all very e
