California, July 2016

Earlier this month my wife and I went on a vacation trip to California. We started in Carmel for a few days, then drove down the coast and inland to the Paso Robles winery country for a few more, then back up to Pacific Grove to finish. We saw some beautiful areas along the way, from Monterey through the Big Sur area...


And stayed at some great places including a Tuscan villa B&B near Paso Robles...


And we ate wonderful food...


Overall a good trip, but we were happy to get home, and we realized just how much we enjoy living where we do.

Lovely! You Westies got it nice!

No doubt, there are beautiful places in California.

Beautiful, looks like a nice trip!

Beautiful photos, John. California is nothing if not diverse.

Jealous is an understatement! I have never been to California but I love everything from there for some reason. And the wine from Paso Robles is incredible. In fact Firestone Craft Beer is a good one from Paso.

Great photos and the food looks incredible.

Very nice, John!

Thanks for the kind words, buys.  The food really was wonderful.  The best/worst part of the trip was seeing roadside vegetable stand signs along Highway 101 for avocados at 10 for a dollar - almost reason enough to move there.  

Awesome pictures! Did you run into the fire in Big Sur at all? Luckily I haven't been deployed there yet.
