Road Trip

Let's be honest. I am BUSY. All the time. 
Between work, school and my internship it is rare that I have a day completely to myself. 
Because of this, I am always feeling in serious need of at least a quick getaway from reality.
Fortunately, I live in Southern California so my options are limitless. 

Bask in the sun poolside in Palm Springs, take the quick drive to Big Bear Mountain and ski, head over to Las Vegas for a weekend of fun and excitement, drive to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon or spend time in my old stomping grounds in Phoenix, road trip to Santa Barbara to see my best friend and the incredible scenery, adventure up to San Francisco and experience incredible shopping and restaurants.
Need I go on? The options are endless. 

Palm Springs, CA

Big Bear Mountain, CA

Las Vegas, NV

Grand Canyon, AZ

Santa Barbara, CA

San Francisco, CA


Here is my obstacle though:
College. Student.
My funds are limited.

Because of this, my boyfriend and I decided to start a "Road Trip Fund"
We each take $10-20 from each paycheck and put it in a piggy bank 
(yes, a piggy bank is necessary because neither of us have the control to not spend money)
Once we have enough money saved up for a weekend getaway; it is going to be just us and the open road.

If you could get away for a few days, where would you go?

Puerto Rico

So, I have been back from Puerto Rico for like two weeks now
 (it feels like its been two months since my week of relaxation)
Anyways, the trip was incredible and I highly recommend the Puerto Rican adventure to those who are looking for some exotic summer plans..
During our time at the El Conquistador, we saw A LOT of rain.
(Obviously as punishment for leaving the beautiful SoCal)
But, regardless of the weather, we managed to have a wonderful time and went horseback riding on the beach, to the resort waterpark and spent plenty of time in the sun.

Sadly, our trip ended far too soon and I am back to reality in SoCal.
If you could take a vacation to paradise, where would it be?
