Monterey

Up the Coast

 

Saturday August 2 (Day 24) was a big day.  Leaving San Diego in the morning (barely) we made our way up the coast to LA, where we made a quick IN-N-OUT stop joined by the McNeelys.

Following that stop we hit the coast again, taking the 101 to San Luis Obispo and then Highway 1 up to Monterey.  An ambitious drive, late start, lunch stop, unexpected Saturday traffic, and a misplaced dinner order added up to an 11:00 arrival time in Monterey that night.  Whew!

Sunset on the coast - the rest of the drive was in the dark!

 

 

After a relaxing day hanging out at Marina Dunes on Sunday, we headed into Monterey on Monday for lunch and the 17 mile drive to Pebble Beach.

Lunch at Fisherman's Wharf.  Dining watching Sea otters, seals, a highly efficient Pelican, and crazy schools of fish churning the water.  Amazing sea life.

Candyland at Fisherman's Wharf.  Too many choices!
