Day 4: Cambria
There is nothing like waking up, walking outside your door, and stepping onto the beach and smelling the ocean air. Oh Cambria, why are you so spectacular? This is the first thing I want to see every morning.
After leaving Cambria (reluctantly), we began our drive through Big Sur and some of the most spectacularly gorgeous sights this country has to offer. Windy roads through Pine tree covered mountains on one side, and cliffs overlooking ocean waves crashing on the other. Stunning. Of course, it is made even better when the weather is perfect and tunes are blaring out of the convertible car speakers.
Along the way, we stopped in a couple spots for impromptu hikes. Always a surprise. Each stop better than the last.
Nepenthe:
As we made our way (eating and drinking our way up the coast), I was excited to visit Nepenthe- voted one of the most scenic dining locations in the country (and I had been hearing about it for years from Paul). I was not disappointed. There are no words- only these. If you are ever driving through Big Sur, make it a priority to stop here. Breathtaking! And the food wasn't bad either!
Carmel:
After Nepenthe, we headed up to Carmel to spend some time on the beach and walking around town. Sorry you weren't with us mom- I know you would have LOVED this day!
