Oceano, CA // What is your favorite aroma or smell?

Our road trip continued down the coast. We hiked in Big Sur and picnicked overlooking the ocean and then took a giant detour to our next stop, Pismo Beach. Apparently, there was a mudslide on PCH but despite there being signs for the past 100 miles telling us we would have to take a detour, there was never a sign saying...detour here! The road literally just ended with one roadblock sign in the middle of nowhere. So, we had to take a 3 hour loop all the way back up north through Monterey and then all the way back down, finally making it to Pismo Beach at 2 am, for a lovely dinner of Jack in the Box. So, a wise word of caution to future road trippers... the ocean can be beautiful and mesmerizing, but make sure you take the signs seriously!

Answer: Lavender. The smell of lavender. It's relaxing and soothing. I plan on planting lavender when I rearrange my yard, so I can dry it and put it in little baggies. When you walk into Bed Bath and Beyond, it's the first thing you smell. At the farmer's market here, it's the first thing you smell. It draws you in because it's just so calming and soothing. My favorite smell used to be vanilla, but lavender has overruled it now. laughs
