On Thursday we touched down at the San Francisco airport just after 9pm and spend the next few hours tracking down Damon’s lost suitcase and getting our oh-so California hybrid rental car. We had made the decision to drive south to Monterey that night in order to avoid the Golden state’s infamous traffic. This meant that we checked into the old Monterey Hotel at 3am!
The 1905 hotel is super charming, even despite the fact that there is no elevator. We managed to get a couple hours of sleep and rose bright and early for a walking tour of downtown Monterey. As we soaked up the fresh ocean air we journeyed over to the local wharf.
Known for is once lucrative canning industry, this waterfront community is the place for kayaking, scuba diving, whale watching and ton of other outdoor activities, thanks to it’s year-round temperate climate.
As we strolled along the coast to the famous Monterey Aquarium, I couldn’t help but miss my beloved Zeke. All the locals were walking with their furry friends, enjoying the 65 degree weather.

After rescuing Damon’s luggage, we headed south, down to Carmel and Big Sur, which was about a 40-mile drive. All along the shore line, we were greeted with blue skies and the open ocean.
Don't really remember where this is. Just seemed beautiful to us.
Big Sur National Park
It seemed only fitting that we stopped for a hike among the ginormous Redwoods, as the entire reason we are in California is for PPA’s One to Grow On Photography Tour. The trees were impressive, but the coolest part was that as we ventured deeper into the forest, everything seemed to smell like breakfast; maple syrup to be exact.

You can’t beat a West Coast sunset. Although, for some reason this one only seemed to last for a few minutes, unlike the ones in Key West. Maybe it’s the drinks they serve in Mallory Square that seem to make time slow to a crawl. Regardless, it was a great way to end our first day in California.
