Well, of course Big Sur. ...I love that question! <br /><br />Well, of course Big Sur. We always went to the Phoenix store below Nepenthe (I can just smell the sandlewood...)<br /><br />Also: the Heather Hill on Point Dume in Malibu (my sister and I named it that when we were little, little girls), Popham Beach on the Maine coast near Bath, and Desolation Wilderness near Lake Tahoe in California. Now THAT'S a magical place to go camping - lakes up in the mountains surrounded by sun-kissed granite rocks...<br /><br />and finally! the White Mountains in New Hampshire...such beautiful peaks and valleys, oh I could go on forever naming magic places!Megan Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520307813991565047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369717206174670865.post-26617643952112655812010-10-07T05:54:58.351-07:002010-10-07T05:54:58.351-07:00I've never been there, so thanks so much for t...I've never been there, so thanks so much for this!Melissa Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975477573895818097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1369717206174670865.post-47564590276902082542010-10-07T05:33:57.392-07:002010-10-07T05:33:57.392-07:00this place does look amazing!

It felt so preserved and perfect and actually I guess that is how I feel about everything in Big Sur.

Late summer produce can transport me back there - corn on the cob, blueberries, peaches, tomatoes... Day trips to Niagara Falls. And because it was always full of family, it's the magic place for our whole family. <br /><br />My husband and I have designated Vermont as our own magic place. We just went last weekend for our annual pilgrimage north, to stay in an inn, visit antique stores and a huge craft fair, and just enjoy the gorgeousness that is Vermont in October.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04604043603331696042noreply@blogger.com
