After several days hiking Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks it was time to move on. We need to head west because in short order we'll be hooking up with the Grandkids for a Disney/San Diego adventure.
Yes, it's not exactly a direct route to Cambria, but the countryside is lovely and taking the long way around is a great way to see the country. Monterey, Pebble Beach and Carmel by the Sea are favorites. We've been through the area before and wanted to pay another visit. Weather was windy, cloudy and quite cold...not really site-seeing weather, so we didn't hang-out on the beach for very long. But the beaches were filled with folks enjoying warmer temperatures and the coast is incredibly beautiful anytime of the year.
Next we were southbound for Cambria on the central coast. A beautiful coastal town, incredible restaurants offering the freshest and most delicious food anywhere! This has been a great place to relax and do a bit of window shopping. Antique stores, wine emporiums, gourmet food and kitchen accessories abound (right up my alley!)
We're staying at Cambria Pines Lodge, nestled in the middle of the pines, with lovely gardens to enjoy. A short walk down a steep path to town....no need for a car here. Weather today was quite warm and sunny, actually lovely. The sea mist was in this evening, but we were still able to walk to town for dinner.
We're back in our room settling in for the evening. Two fireplaces will keep us toasty and our bed has a lovely thick feather duvet that is heavenly.
Tomorrow is the 4th of July! My goodness! where has time gone?
The little boys arrive on the 9th and we're sure to have a wonderful time. Can't wait to see them again. Stay tuned!
