Christmas Carmel Trip

                         

What a beautiful part of California! The Monterey/Carmel region is definitely worth a visit for a fun weekend (or in our case a day-trip) of exploration.

I love this time of year: twinkling lights, cozy woolies to wear and hot drinks to sip in cute little coffee shops. Although our trip was a little wet, we didn't let it rain on our parade of fun. Try this day trip from San Francisco to Carmel and I guarantee you will find it well worth the drive.

                         

1. From SF to Carmel you are looking at about a 2 hour drive. Pit stop for lunch in the colorful Capitola. 


                        

2. Head to the rushing turquoise waters of Whaler's Cove for an easy hike along the forested trail.

                         
                      


3. Visit the fairytale strip of Downtown Carmel for some "window shopping" & treats at the Cottage of Sweets. 




4. Take B&W jumping photos at Carmel State Beach.


                  


5. Head back on 17-mile drive through the famous & historic Pebble Beach golf course.


                      


Happy holidays from rainy Northern California!
