Me and Fermin on our trip to Carmel, California |
Fermin and I spent the last week in Monterey and Carmel, California. Such a great trip. And such a nice break from the summer heat here in Dallas. While it was in the 100s here, it was in the 60s there. Ahhhh...
I hadn't been to that area of California since I was about 10 years old, and Fermin had never been. It was just beautiful! All of it! I think my favorite was the 17-mile drive. We kept calling it "17-mile ride in a jiffy, because we felt so rushed. We
needed a day there, and we only
had an hour before we had to catch our flight home. Hopefully, someday we can go back and Fermin can play a round of golf at Pebble Beach, where this will be his view from the course!

Beaches, for me, are especially nice when you have to wear a scarf and leggings! This is the beach in Carmel that was just a short walk from where we stayed.

We also made it to Capitola one day for lunch, and walking around.

Another beach, where a scarf was required. |

Loved these tiles along the wall of the beach! |
Of course, I found my way to a bead store one day. And it was a great one! They had lots of vintage beads- and a shop cat named Marshmallow.

Marshmallow, the cross-eyed cat, was a great host at Paradise Beads. |
One other spot we made it to was Big Sur. So picturesque, my iPhone really didn't do it justice.

Fermin and Me- Big Sur |
We'll be back, California! So much fun we just didn't have time to get to all we wanted to do and see...Including the Hearst Castle. Or the Aquarium. Not to mention, 17-mile drive NOT in a jiffy, but at a long, leisurely pace. Next time...
