Trip to Carmel & Monterey

On February 21st, Grant and I headed out of Quincy at 3:30pm. We drove down the Canyon--Highway 70--stopped in Marysville for a burger, then drove down 113 to Woodland, cut over 80 to 680 south through the Silicon Valley, finally ending up in Monterey around 10:00. The next day we visited the Aquarium, where the jellyfish and the anemones really caught the eye---just gorgeous! We met up with Dorothy, Debby & Phil on Friday and spent the weekend with them at a condo they'd rented in Pacific Grove. We took lots of walks, drove along the 17-mile Drive to Pebble Beach, went to Carmel and the Mission there, walked down Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey, and just had a lovely, wonderful visit! We managed to just miss the Tour of California marathon bicycle race, and the rain kept away for the most part so that we could take our morning walkabout, checking out the houses along the ocean and the shops in town. I enclose a few pictures. Enjoy!
