This is not your average road trip vlog — we just survived (and honestly loved) a 10-day, 2,000+ mile California road trip with our 8-month-old baby girl, Eshaani. In this Episode 1 recap, I’m taking you through the big highlights: her first ever flight from Charlotte to Las Vegas (yes, I was super nervous!), picking up the rental car, and then hitting the road toward Los Angeles where we finally saw the iconic Hollywood sign and the most epic sunset. From there, it was all about real-life travel moments with a baby — beach time in LA where Eshaani played with sand for the first time, golden meditative vibes at Pismo Beach, and then the absolute magic of Highway 1. Big Sur truly stole our hearts — beaches + mountains together, and we even saw a waterfall falling directly into the ocean. We continued to San Francisco for a stunning golden hour, then Yosemite for Half Dome, El Capitan, and a surprise rainbow. Sequoia was all about General Sherman and those gigantic trees, and we wrapped up with a birthday stay at Paris Hotel in Vegas, plus Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend in Page, Arizona. No filters, no fluff — just honest family travel, baby giggles, and unforgettable views, with detailed day-by-day vlogs coming next.
