It’s only been a few weeks since our luxurious stay at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, but now we’re back on the California coast to crash at another celebrity favorite, 5-star resort: Terranea. Situated on more than 100 prime acres along the southernmost tip of LA county, Terranea promises to provide endless relaxation, excitement, and a massive roster of experiences in between. We’re using our Inspirato Pass membership to book 5 days in a 2-bedroom villa overlooking the Pacific Ocean, so let’s jump in.

We should acknowledge that every meal we’ve had on this trip—aside from our day on Catalina Island—has been on the Terranea resort grounds. And that’s not because we decided to settle. As major foodies, we were able to find all the restaurant quality and variety we could ever ask for without having to venture into town. The dining program here is fantastic, from French fries to filet mignon—and that’s one great benefit Terranea has over Pelican Hill, which even in summer of 2022 still hadn’t re-opened their best restaurants following covid.

Golf is in Terranea’s DNA and not just because this is the 5-star resort where Tiger Woods was staying—and driving from—the morning of his unfortunate car accident last year. The Links may be a relatively simple 9-hole, par 3 course, but what it lacks in size and difficulty it makes up for in stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. This is a course that you can enjoy at a different level, having fun with friends and a beverage in hand.

ABOUT US.

We’re the Lockwoods: a family with 3 kids, 5 careers, and endless passion for adventure. Two years ago, we decided it was time for Phil's ad agency to abandon the in-person, 5-day workweek. So they 86’d the office and work hours, allowing our own family to start traveling almost constantly. We now work, school, and explore in a different place every week—from our own mountain and beach homes to exotic villas, resorts, and yachts around the world. As we experience and support diverse cultures, we hope to inspire more families to design a life of freedom and adventure.

Because there’s a new American Dream. It’s one that’s void of templated expectations, templated career paths, templated education, templated families, templated homes, and templated lives. Freedom is no longer an American tagline—it’s just the new, global way of life.

Every day that you spend doing something that doesn’t fulfill you to your core, you’re living your life on pause. You’re deferring genuine family time with no guarantee that there will be a tomorrow or a someday. Some people follow that mentality their entire lives. We’ve chosen to never live that way again.

We appreciate you following our journey. The more our channel grows, the more time we can spend traveling to more locations, contributing to these cultures, highlighting local businesses, and sharing inspiring stories from these communities. So please consider liking, commenting, and subscribing so that you can stick with us for the long haul.
