As someone who has largely taken train journeys rather than roadtrips, I don’t have any nostalgic memories of roadtrips in cars (simply because I’ve never lived somewhere where that was a thing. Driving 20 min meant leaving the country)
However, this giant artichoke in Castroville makes me want to go on a road trip to see it. First, I gotta learn how to drive a car

@skinnylatte Castroville also used to have an excellent Texan style BBQ place, so used to take frequent trips with friends there. The artichokes are huge in the area.
(Also I find I use roadtrip to imply a longer journey over 12 hours and less direct with many stops between you and the destination. Driving to San Diego for instance would just be going somewhere. A wandering route through the Central Valley over two days would be a roadtrip.)
@djcapelis hehe, by that definition a road trip would mean driving to Thailand at least, from Singapore. Will want to do that some day, though the trains are fine
@skinnylatte Yes! Roadtrips are usually either long distance or dedicated to meandering quite a lot for me. The best are both! :)

@skinnylatte That said stitching Castroville as a stop along a Monterrey and Central Coast roadtrip is always a solid plan if you wanted to expand it out a bit. ;)
@skinnylatte Another stop nearby if you end up out that way with a car, there’s a good sausage place in Corralitos, CA, it’s also the town’s small little market: Corralitos Market & Sausage Co
