California Vacation, A Tale in Pictures : Chapter Three

The Big Sur Chapter...

Day five of their adventure began along the 17 Mile Drive to Carmel. Beautiful!

The 17 Mile Drive is perfect for spotting the creatures Jenni and Bryan discovered at the Aquarium. Here they watched otters frolick, kelp float, and birds fly around.

Near the end of the drive they stopped to see the Lone Tree. You can never get enough of this Lone Tree! So zen, so picturesque. Just downright cool.

With the tree.

After a stop in Carmel for a coffee and more hoity-toity than they could stomach, they hit the open road for their first ever ride through Big Sur.

The Big Sur coastline is breathtaking. Snapping pictures left and right, Jenni just couldn't get enough of it.

Hugs and sunshine made them very happy.

Stopping for a very tasty lunch at the famous restaurant along the coast, Bryan pondered the menu and took in the view.

A view like this isn't something you see on your typical lunch break. Fantastic!

Back on the road they drove, and drove. But fell more in love with the beauty of California. Just around that point way out there they'd find their hotel for the night, The Madonna Inn. A chapter in and of itself.
