- We have made it back to the California coast! Due to a recent landslide, we weren’t able to drive all the way up, which is why we looped over to Pinnacles in our last video. But, we are back, and driving down to Big Sur for the very first time! This is definitely one of our favorite videos yet, and we hope you enjoy it!

All your vlogs make me feel so good. I look forward to watching a new one everytime. ❤
Yay!! All we want is to bring other people joy from our videos! Thanks for watching! 😁
Big Sur section on Pacific Coast Highway is the best. I travelled through this area on my bike tour last month. Amazing views. 👍🙂
Hi there,🌻🦋
I just found your vlog a week ago. California is a beautiful state, especially the coastal scenics- it takes your breath away!🦜🐠
I'm glad you two came to visited California & enjoyed it!🥳🌈
I was there a couple of months ago. Love reliving it through other peoples videos! Your content is pretty fun!
I find y’all quite amusing 😂
Enjoy the videos!!
Wow, what a view! Gonna be on my bucket list!!
Love your music selections ❤️
WOW!!! 1. I would dine!!! 2. Amazing scenery!!! 3. The drone of the cow!!! 4. My stomach flipped again at the shot of Claire's feet on the edge of the cliff!!! I LOVE this vlog post! Within the first five minutes I annouced to my husband that we "are going to California"! Thank you both so much for all your hard work in sharing these moments with us! You make it all look so beautiful and effortless! I know it's not easy, but you are both so hardworking, it makes it seem that way! Keep up the great work! Safe travels!
We live for your comments Holley!! We absolutely love to share our travels and can’t wait to keep sharing. Excited for you trip to California one day and we appreciate your recognition on the work that goes into making these videos!
@@ChadandClaire you guys are so sweet!!! Someone else commented about how you make them smile! Same for me!!! I just love how down to earth and earnest you both are! It's so refreshing and joyful!
Ahh my family and I roadtripped to Carmel/ 17 Mile Drive around February, it’s so beautiful out there. I hope to head back and go camping in Big Sur soon :) love your videos btw, I hope to someday do van life cause I never can stay still lol🧡
you guys just seem so HAPPY~~
And you really catch California at her best time.
safe travel!!
California is beautiful and I’d say overall we are pretty happy! 😁😁 thanks for watching Rachel!
Y’all are legends, thanks for the quality content
Thanks for being a quality viewer! ✌️
I'm in love with how perfect these edits are! Great Shots!
Thanks Jon! They definitely aren’t perfect, but we enjoy the process.
I've read that Highway 1 is a nightmare of a commute because there are very few gas stations, no one sells diesel, and the gas prices are higher than high. It's nearly impossible to find lodging thats less than $100 per night especially during the busy season. It's crazy difficult to find bathrooms (mainly because the bathroom signs on the road were removed for aesthetic reasons). People are constantly pooping in the woods and whenever Big Sur residents go out to pick up the litter visitors leave they always see human feces.
I'm still gonna go there, though.
You guys rock! Thank you for sharing, and sorry for being late to the journey!
No need to apologize! Happy to have you along!
Just found this site. You guys are great together! Highway 1 is one of my favorite drives. I have driven all over the U.S., and this is to me, the best. The meals look great! I have subscribed, and look forward to more of your adventures. Stage safe and God bless. 💖
Thanks for watching Jeffery! So glad you enjoyed. Highway 1 is incredible and we can’t wait to go back someday.
Seeing Chad discover Artichokes was priceless. You two are so good together. Getting glasses stuck in your hair - that happens to me every time!! Enjoy every minute. I will be sad to see your van adventure come to an end but I’m sure you have much bigger adventures in store!!
We are very excited for our future travels and thanks for keeping up with our travels here! 😁😁 we are sad to think the van adventure is ending soon.
Again, a new favorite vlog! The drone shot of the cow could be a plein air painting called "Pacific Americana"- such a beautiful moment in nature. I agree with Claire that it's the best shot yet. Seems like you guys are a perfect fit for the pacific coast. Also- spinach artichoke dip should be the next thing to try, but be careful, it is addictively good!
Ahh spinach artichoke dip is amazing. We will definitely have to try making it. Love the name “pacific Americans” perhaps we’ll grab a screenshot and put it on our website with that name haha.😂
Artichokes and Mayo! Yes...some people don’t know about the “heart”. The best part! Yum
As always, enjoyable
the drone shots 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love the food that Claire made
Just discovered your channel! Nice!! 🙌 Wow, Claire's got some cooking skills! 😮 I forecast a cooking channel! 😁 Stay safe you two!
Such a great vlog! I definitely have to go on that highway one day!!
You would take some incredible pictures there! You’ll no doubt go one day!
I think I missed something? There is some amazing stuff between Big Sur and Half Moon Bay! Where is all that? Artichokes are awesome and they are every where north of Monterey. The yellow flowers are Mustard. Awesome video. Beautiful coverage of the west coast! Stay safe.
We wish we could have stayed longer! We know we missed a lot of incredible things. Huge artichoke fans now! Thanks for watching! Wish we were able to capture more of Big Sur and half moon bay!
@@ChadandClaire What about Point Lobos and Carmel's white sand beaches, 17 mile drive, Monterey?
Thanks for another great video.
Thanks for spending your time with us! 😁
100% down for a food truck. #woulddine Keep living it up you two! 🙌
I’m from Scotland uk and my family and I did the road trip to big sur and my dear god I was so blown away by the beauty I actually cried 🤣. I must say this was by far the best trip we’ve ever been on, certainly the most fun, even with a young child in tow.....it’s given us a road trip bug and my dream is to drive along right up to Yellowstone national park 😅
Ah Big Sur truly is incredible. It’s amazing how childhood family memories stick with you your whole life. No doubt you will do the drive to Yellowstone one day!
what beautiful views and places..l
I’ve slept so many times on Hwy 1 by Big Sur California
Hi there! You guys are a joy to watch, and I truly appreciate how much you are enjoying my home state. You are bringing back lots of memories for me. I cannot believe what gourmet meals you are enjoying. Do you have a cookbook for planning? If you are creating the menus I suggest you write a cookbook to sell. God Bless & Stay Safe
Hey Judith! We are so glad you enjoy! Claire actually creates most of the recipes on her own with initial inspiration from others. She has definitely thought about making a cookbook and plans on doing so someday!
Thanks again for your kind words! We really appreciate it!
beautiful !
Love your videos! Great work. I am thinking your channel will grow quite a bit. :) Where did you all park at? Trying to come up with good places to sleep along Highway 1...
It’s really tough to find spots along Highway 1. We chose to park in cities where we felt we could blend in at night. Otherwise we use the app “IOverlander”
where is the first hike you took? Im doing a roadtrip in the area in September! thank you for sharing! so beautiful
Nice video! Nothing beats ocean front.
Thanks, Uncle Tony! Hoping the family is doing well 😁😁😁
I love this vlog and watch it weekly. What's the name of the song playing while the drone is flying over the cows? It's so beautiful.
Sweet video and creative menus as always, lucky Chad. How did you find ideas and event like Kitesurfing when you came to Big Sur, a new place? 👏
Hey Jon! Thanks for the support! We actually just randomly came across the kitesurfing! We had no idea it was going on.
You guys visiting my home, Monterey! 😯
Just a neat fact, every freshwater stream/river basically goes to the ocean!
I would’ve given this a thumbs up if it was just Highway one and Big Sur. I wasn’t looking for a cooking show although your food did look delicious. Great job on cooking! I was just looking for places to go and see on my PCH trip.And really didn’t have time to see a lot of extra stuff.
Hi Barbara, I see what you're saying because I thought that was a bit different than other channels when I first saw their "van life" videos. Then I figured out that their channel was not just a travelogue, but an insight into their young lives as a married couple traveling to exciting places in their van!
I m glad u have those colorful prayer flags in your car..its a real protector of bad lucks..pls keep it clean
안녕하세요 응원합니다🙏thank you so much👍
Yum
Nice Coogi.
Can I have another Artichoke " no ", can I have some cheese in my mouth " no " 😄 ,poor Chad. Time lapse on the kite surfing looked great and crazy.
When you upload its break of light here in Sydney, always nice to make my morning coffee , sit back and watch you Vlogs 🤙
A great way to start the day I’d imagine! 😁😁 kite surfing looks super fun we have to try it some day.
It would be nice to know where you pulled over. Mile marker?
May I know the hiking trail at 1:15? Thanks!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one whose hair gets tangled in their sunglasses xD
It’s such a struggle. Truly.
Hello love your channel can you tell me all the season 🙏 you use on the food you cook on this channel and thank you have a blessed day.🌺
Hey Tory! So our next, next video is all about our van kitchen and we’ll list out all the spices as well! So stay tuned for that one 😁
"can I have another one (artichoke)??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO (all serious) 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Coincidentally,, you drove through the artichoke capitol of the United States earlier in the day when you drove through Castroville.. Hwy 1 is the best drive in the country.. You can go home now.😄
Haha trips over! We’ve seen it all😂
Can you tell me the location where you guys parked and had dinner(11:00)?
I’m so sorry I wish I could give you coordinates, but I have no idea where we parked. It was along Highway 1 between Big Sur and Partington Cove.
oh to be a cow and graze beautiful grass on a mountain next to gorgeous californian seaside
Oh to be a calf drinking raw milk from a cow grazing beautiful grass on a mountain next to gorgeous Californian seaside.
Y'all are so obviously high.
You were so close to Castroville, The Artichoke Center of the World. Artichokes are the state vegetable of California. The yellow flowers are mustard, they were dropped by the Spanish missionaries to mark roads in Alta California. Monterey was the Spanish Capital of Alta California.
Wow super interesting! We had no idea that we were standing in a mustard field and super interesting about them being dropped by the Spanish!
I’m probably the only one who noticed they got new phones 😂
Woahhh true fan! Thanks for sticking around with us!
@@ChadandClaire What phone did you get? What drone do you use? You two are amazing ! ps Subscribed
@@huckleberryfinn338 I’m pretty sure they have iPhone 12’s but I can’t tell 100%. They say on their website that they use a DJI Mavic mini drone.
Seriously luckiest guy ever...
Too much of you guys. Not enough of the beautiful countryside
That's not cool. Please don't disturb the animal with your drone. It's ok to look from afar, but please please please leave the animal alone. You guys were flying the drone feet away from the cow to capture the calf feeding, and you look so happy. Image I fly my drone in your face while you are eating.
