Pacific Calling | Editorial

Recently, a couple of us took a quick spin over the golden coast of California. A 3-day-round-trip trek from Los Angeles to Monterey provided the perfect backdrop and retreat for easing the soul. We marinated in wine, took in some golf at Pebble Beach, and soaked in some golden rays. In the spirit of providing a pseudo travel magazine feel, the following is a 12-page spread drafted using the images from the trip. Enjoy.
