Country Mouse, City Mouse, Mickey Mouse - The Honeymoon Part 8: Pacific Coast Highway

On our last day in northern California we loaded up the Camaro and headed out of the city. Our plan was to drive down Highway 1 to Big Sur, turn around and come back. For the uninitiated, this may sound like a strange way to spend a precious honeymoon day. But you just wait and see, because it was one of our favorite days of the trip!



First we stopped for breakfast in an adorable cafe on Main Street in Half Moon Bay.



We soon stopped again (we stopped a lot) at the beach to get a taste of what was to come.


We don't have nearly enough pictures of us together from this trip, but here is a good one with an epic background.





The famous Bixby Bridge. Absolutely beautiful, and I only freaked out a teeny bit driving over it. Both ways.


Patrick at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, another stop on the road.


And here I am on Carmel Beach. See that bluff in the background? That would be Pebble Beach. Yes, that Pebble Beach.


I can not figure out for the life of me why we don't have any pictures of Carmel by the Sea. It is the cutest town in the world, it looks like a fairy tale. Needless to say, I'm ready to pack the bags and move there today.
After watching the sun set, Patrick and I settled back into the car for a 3 hour ride back to San Francisco. We were super tired from driving all day, but ridiculously excited. Bonus points if you know why.
