#throwbackthursday travelstyle to our Sept. 13-15, 2013 trip to San Jose, Carmel & beautiful Big Sur to watch Trey ask two of his friends if they want to do life together. Land in San Jose. Top Down. Highway 1 Drive to Big Sur. An incredible trip with an incredible man to celebrate an incredible couple. #EthanandHolly
first stop Bertucelli’s La Villa Deli for sandwiches almost as good as Trey’s Saturday Sub Sandwich and stacks on stacks of wine, fresh bread and cheese.

moment of mist & bliss along the PCH.
morning run through the redwoods.
Enveloped by redwoods, our hotel the Glen Oaks Motor Lodge is one of our favorite hotels. Ever. Modern design inside a skeleton of an old motor lodge, each room features a private porch, heated recycled stone floors, a wine fridge, a garden of succulents and complimentary yoga mats. #namaste.
After our morning run along PCH, we stopped in Glen Oaks Big Sur Roadhouse across the street. We instantly feel in love with New Orleans chef Matt Glazer’s design of “homegrown modernism.” Everything from the wine barrel chairs to the leather wine rack, had a place and unique, West coast feel. Our morning fare consisted of:
Southern-Style Biscuits & Gravy: Two Buttermilk Biscuits with Hand-Made-Sausage Gravy
Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwich: Fried Egg, Smoked Bacon and New York White Cheddar Cheese
White Corn Grits: With Serrano Chile and Bellweather Farms Peppato Cheese
Of course, since he is from NOLA, we sipped on two Café au Laits in the gorgeous Cali sunshine.
#weknowwhatsup. The March 2014 issue of Food & Wine Magazine listed Big Sur Roadhouse as the place to be & eat. We knew it before it was famous.
