San Francisco Trip: Part 2 Driving Highway 1
When we got to California we rented a car to get around. Our favorite part of the trip was driving down Highway 1, the view was beautiful.

As we were getting near the coast, I said “oh I think I see some water!” Ha ha, none of us were expecting to see the breathtaking views that were ahead of us.
One of our first stops was Pigeon Point Lighthouse
Jason soaking in the view
Day 2 we drove an hour and a half down Highway 1, from Pescadero to Carmel. Not only did we see the ocean on our way, but we also got to see a lot of produce (strawberries, lettuce, etc.) right on the coast.
I did not get a panoramic shot, but if you put these together, with a lot of water in between, that’s what you get!
When we got to Carmel, we stopped to eat at Forge In The Forest. Another recommended, it was so quaint and yummy!
After lunch we did a little walking tour around the town of Carmel
The town is known for it’s little nooks and alleyways
This is where I want to stay next time we visit Carmel :)

Time for a cupcake at Pastries and Petals
Next was the 17-mile drive. We saw four deer on one of the courses, just hanging out near some golfers.
Pebble Beach
We then drove about 30 minutes to Big Sur

We went to Big Sur to enjoy appetizers, drinks, and the view at Nepenthe
Sorry for the picture overload, but I could not resist!
