here’s what i did: 🚗

first stop: pine lavender farm. peak bloom, fresh lavender, and the perfect way to slow down before sunset. 💜 i wish you could smell it through the screen!!

checked into lodge at 5600 for the night. cozy rooms, mountain views, and dog-friendly—10/10 for a weekend basecamp

👇🏼

drove to blue ridge reservoir, which was the best view of the trip- this spot is absolutely stunning.. also empty at sunrise!

👇🏼

you already know i had to bring a coffee set up- wish you could taste it through the screen ☕️

through all of this, my road-trip companion was the 2026 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. plenty of room for adventure gear and a very spoiled adventure pup. 🐾 the fuel efficiency blows my mind 🤯
