It’s always kind of shocking when the year comes to an end. Where in the world did the last 360+ days go? I don’t really know, but a good amount of it did go to exploring places in California.
As 2015 wraps up and as we prepare to enter the new year, here is a bucket list of backyard destinations I’d like to visit and little adventures I’d like to embark on.
I hope you guys will join me in exploring next year, wherever your backyards might be. Feel free to share items on your bucket list in the comments or by sending me an email. And if you’re in the Southern California/California area, let me know if you have suggestions on must-sees/must-dos!
Happy New Year, everyone!
