our 3rd annual girls trip has come and gone....much too quickly....
this year, we went to a part of california i have never been....
carmel - monterey - pacific grove - big sur......
and i instantly fell in love....
gorgeous scenery at every turn....
charming little towns....
a short walk from our rental house to catch the sun rise.....
hot tub and fires by night....wine in hand....
eating good food (not cooking) and tasty beverages....
walking into the very first restaurant and being warmly greeted by fellow minnesotans (the hostess and owner) who proceeded to spoil us rotten with bottomless prosecco, appetizers, and dessert...because, well...minnesota nice...
gorgeous sunsets with ocean views....
absolutely stunning, brilliant blue green waters....
whale watching....
crashing waves...
breathing in the salt air....
picnics on the beach...
lunch with a view...
driving the coast....
good times with dear friends...
