I love California. There are so many hidden treasures in my state, places to explore, small towns to visit, sights to see. California is so vast, it makes me sad that I'll probably never get to fully experience it's nooks and crannies. One of my favorite places to visit is Monterey. I just loooove California's central coast, with it's desolate beaches and rocky cliffs. I promise you I will live here one day.
We pretended to be tourists this weekend while visiting my BF's family for New Year's. We explored Carmel, 17 Mile Drive, and Big Sur, which is located a little further south from Monterey on HWY 1. I wanted to visit the famous Bixby Creek Bridge, which I've seen in photos but never in person. Here are some of the photos we took on our voyage to Big Sur…
I was raised on these northern California beaches, so when I think of beach, I think of cliffs, rocks, seaweed, fog, and turmoil in the ocean. Strangely, I don't think of warm white sands and sun tans at all!
The cliffs were a little scary to say the least. Last year a piece of HWY 1 fell into the ocean! How crazy is that?
Of course, my BF had to plank on the cement pillar standing inches from the cliff's edge. And Rocco, just chillin in his winter sweater.
I feel so lucky to be so close to gorgeous places like Monterey and Big Sur. I would love to spend a weekend and drive down the entire California coastline, hit up places like San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara!
