Carmel to Anaheim Day 7, 8, & 9

Carmel is beautiful!

If you have never been there, you need to pack up and go!

We had such a nice day, even though we

 didn't run into Clint Eastwood.

We stayed in this very lovely hotel.

They serve a continental breakfast,

with the best french toast I have ever had in my life.

I hate to admit that we didn't buy anything in Carmel.
The shops were a tad out of our price range. (Darn it!)
But we did enjoy window shopping.

I love the cozy little spots in this town.

We took a short trip to Monterey. 

I wanted to see Cannery Row.

The only picture I took was of these seals at Fisherman's Wharf.

How many seals do you see?

I am seeing ten now, but I think there were a lot more than that.

Tricky little guys.

We drove around Pebble Beach. 

It is a 17 mile drive.

I don't know why, but I didn't take a single picture.

That night we stayed in San Simeon.

The town is made up of many hotels and a few convenience stores. 

Oops, I forgot the Denny's where we ate dinner

with all the other tourists in town.

I believe we all had Hearst Castle tours scheduled

for the following morning.

 

I love to tour mansions and imagine

what my life would be like as an heiress.

Unbelievable!

The view is amazing.

On our way south we stopped in two beautiful cities:

San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara.

 

I really wanted to see Santa Barbara

because it is the home of one of my favorite fictional characters-

Kinsey Millhone.

We're on our way to Rob's favorite place on Earth. . .

DISNEYLAND!!!

For years we have wanted to stay at Disney's California Adventure.

We had a beautiful view of Downtown Disney.

So exciting!

It was a wonderful trip!

Thank you for joining me as I reminisced over this past week.

I would recommend sharing an enjoyable experience. 

It's therapeutic when you have the winter doldrums.
