Our Conclusion - Honeymoon in California ✨

And just like that, our three dreamy weeks in California are over. We can hardly believe how many impressions, adventures, and unforgettable moments we were able to collect during this time. From the wild west to gigantic trees and the vibrant coast – California surprised us anew every day.

We are so grateful to have taken this trip as our honeymoon. It was not just an adventure for us, but also a time in which we experienced so many "firsts" together: the first bear in the wild, the first whale watching trip, the first time strolling through a western town in cowboy boots – and so much more.

Of course, there were many highlights, but we want to document our personal top 5 here:

1. Whale Watching off Santa Barbara 🐋

The encounter with the humpback whales was simply magical – tears in our eyes, pure goosebumps. This closeness to nature will remain in our hearts forever.

2. Yosemite & Sequoia National Park 🌲

Whether it was the endless granite cliffs in Yosemite or the giant sequoia trees – the dimensions of nature deeply impressed us.

3. Bodie Ghost Town 🤠

An excursion into the wild west. The abandoned houses, some still furnished, allowed us to dive into a completely different time.

4. Venice Beach & Santa Monica 🌊

The last day, the colorful hustle and bustle, sun, sports, sea, and our evening at the pier – a perfect conclusion.

5. The special encounters along the way 💛

From warm hosts like Lisa and her breakfast paradise to our Airbnb host in Santa Barbara, who showed us hummingbirds and her garden kitchen – it was precisely these encounters that made the trip so lively and unique.

We take home so many memories – not just photos, but also little stories that will continue to make us smile for a long time. California, you were a dream. 💫
