(A photo of the California coast on the way to Big Sur)
After leaving The Clearing, Lance and I went "home" to our rented condo on Prospect and Brady for two nights. We did wash, reorganized our things, and packed up for our next trip to California.
We flew into San Jose on September 15th, and rented a car for the week. Our first stop was Pacific Grove which is located on the Monterey Peninsula. It's a very charming little town, with pretty little historic cottages lining the streets near the ocean. We stayed in a very nice bed and breakfast, The Old Saint Angela Inn, which is located about a block from the ocean.
While visiting here, we walked around town, had an opportunity to see a pod of humpback whales feeding in the bay, and visited the farmers market that was being held in town. We also enjoyed a nice Mexican dinner in town and had a wonderful breakfast at the Inn before taking off the following day.
Next, came the trip down the coast to Big Sur. If you've never done it, you must add it to your bucket list. It is breathtakingly beautiful. My pictures don't do it justice.
We were headed toward Treebones Resort to do some glam-camping in a yurt. It's a great place and I highly recommend it if you are looking for a unique experience.
Above is a picture of our yurt...you can't tell, but it overlooks the ocean. Below are pictures of what it looks like on the inside. Ours came with a comfortable queen sized bed, futon, small table with chairs, and a sink with hot running water. There is also a gas fireplace for the chilly nights. On the ceiling there is a window that can pop open for fresh air.
The resort also has an organic garden where they grow vegetables for their restaurant.
Below is a picture of the bar that surrounds the deck of the restaurant. This bar also overlooks the ocean. There is also a swimming pool and hot tub near this same area.
The bar is a popular place to watch the sunset over the ocean.
Inside the lodge there is a nice fireplace and dinning room. You get a free breakfast with your stay. It includes eggs and waffles. They also serve lunch and supper. We had a wonderful meal one evening. The entire place was lit with candles which made it look very pretty.
More about our California trip will be in our next post.
