Morro Bay, Pacific Coast Highway, Carmel and Monterey....

Morro Bay

We just thought this was a jumping off point for Hearst Castle - but it was CLOSED for the rest of 2021. That ended up being ok because we explored Morro bay. Morro rock, the amazing beach, sunset and the sea otters in the bay!

Could we live in a yellow submarine???

The Maritime Museum had some old submarines. Bob is standing in front of a ONE person submarine and The yellow submarine is a TWO person sub. REALLY???? Not for those two in the picture!

Elephant Seal Beach

This was so amazing. These guys are anywhere from 900 to 5,000 pounds. At first you think they are dead….but thankfully they are just sunning themselves and resting! They don’t move much but when they do, it’s so fun to watch. They spend most of their lives at sea (and go as far as the Aleutian Islands to look for food). They come here to have their pups and rest before going back to sea. They are so tired, they don’t even eat here.

Pacific Coast Highway 1

We could NEVER drive the RV on this road…it was scary enough in a car.

Carmel by the Sea!

Great shopping, beautiful beach and all those cute little houses in Carmel!

Monterey and Pacific Grove

Loved the bike trail along the shoreline, more seals (I’m obsessed) and Cannery Row (touristy but cute with the best antique mall.)

17 mile drive: Pebble Beach

The Lone Cypress, a pretty shoreline, a seal sunning, amazing golf holes and golf history. Did Richele just win the US Open trophy? No, she doesn’t play golf, just loves to watch it on TV.

…….and if you look real close in the heart, you can see a young couple under the cypress tree….he proposed! ,
