At SMX Social in Long Beach, California, April 22 – 23 I had the privilege of asking Rand Fishkin of SEOmoz some questions.

We did make it to San Diego and my San Diego office is officially up and running. I can now give you a final day of the trip report.

Petaluma to Santa Barbara | San Francisco | Fisherman’s Wharf

The day began in Petaluma, CA.

We headed to Santa Barbara with a stop at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. We visited pier 39 and ate lunch at the end of the pier at a place called Neptune’s Palace. Great place for seafood by the way.

Crescent City to Petaluma | Avenue of the Giants | In and Out Burger

Day two of our trip was even better than the first day.

We drove through the Redwoods, The Avenue of the Giants, an incredible trip we stopped and enjoyed the forest when ever we felt like it.

Portland to Crescent City | Dutch Bros Mother Ship

Day One Portland to San Diego, Portland to Crescent City with a stop at the Dutch Bros Mother Ship.
