Day Trip Hiking in Saratoga and Dinner in Carmel

Great view of the Bay Area on the hike up from the Mountain Winery.
Luke taking a break from the hike to throw big rocks. We were amazed by his endurance; he ran full speed all the way up the mountain - and back down.Luke loved running around the Pebble Beach golf course. The Spyglass course has some great areas overlooking the ocean for pictures.Finished off the evening with some dancing to Jazz at Roy's.

Dinner at Roy's

This evening we borrowed a friend's convertible and drove down to Carmel - The Inn at Spanish Bay - for a great dinner at Roy's.
Good food, great scenery, and even a guy walking around the course playing bagpipes.
and we took a stroll on the beach at sunset.

Clinton and Sarah's Wedding in Monterey

Luke loves hanging out by the beach in his tux.
Natalie was the Matron of Honor and gave a great speech!
It was a beautiful outdoor wedding at the Pacific House in Monterey, right next to Fisherman's Wharf. We enjoyed catching up with a bunch of Sacramento friends and it was the first time I was able to play bocce ball and eat clam chowder in a bread bowl at a wedding.

Carmel Day 2: Reti(red) in Carmel

Weekdays are a great time to see Carmel: we always got our parking spot right next to the beach, 1/2 price B&B's, and no need for reservations anywhere. The pic below shows where we started our days each morning. Good spot for eating breakfast, reading, praying, and people, dog, and wave watching.Our first B&B was lame -- loud, old, dirty, and bright lights outside that shined in all night. So the next morning we called this magic Carmel super hotel helper person (who we later found out was "Resort 2 Me" (800) 757-5646); she was great and set us up with our own cottage at a much better B&B at an amazing price. Call them first if you're going to Carmel, they've got inside info on all the deals in town. We felt like we were staying in Marie Antionette's Versailles room:
We took about 50 pictures of this sunset, difficult to choose just one to post, but here it goes...
After sunset we headed to dinner at the Grill restaurant. I needed some filet mignon.
Notice my reference to The ONE Campaign in the title of this post, I'm so witty.

Carmel Day 1: Last Getaway

Our weekends will be filled up pretty soon so we headed down the coast for one last getaway.

Stopped by a friend's nursery on the way to Carmel. His new business is going well -- and he's even running for Trustee, vote McShane! (if you live in Hartnell) Strolling along the beach, with the 10th hole at Pebble Beach golf course in the background.
Even the gas station signs look nice in Carmel.
Great sunset after dinner at the Hog's Breath. Looks like Natalie ate a little too much...
