Big Sur will forever hold my heart.

We celebrated our first wedding anniversary last weekend at Ventana Inn & Spa and enjoyed an Outstanding in the Field dinner at a "secret location" just minutes from the property where were married just over a year ago. We took morning beach walks, afternoon hikes and spent the early evenings reading books together in our outdoor hammock. It was more relaxing than our honeymoon which I didn't think was possible. We brunched at Big Sur Bakery (my favorite) and drank lunchtime Bloody Marys poolside at the Inn. Everything was incredible.

 HUGE thanks to Joni, Tiffany and the entire team at Ventana. THANK YOU.


The staff at Ventana had a local florist replicate my wedding bouquet for this 'welcome' surprise
