We usually end up in So Cal so it was nice to visit the northern part of the state. I read some Henry Miller and Steinbeck to prep for the trip and I gotta say, I get why the bay area is so sought after. It's a magical place... Mountains, steep coastlines, mystical fog that comes in every evening; what more could you want?
I think we did as much as anyone can do in 7 days and I'm already starting my list of things I want to see next time.
Prepare for some major Phoverload (photo-overload)
BIG SUR
MONTEREY
HWY 1
SPINDRIFT
Probably the greatest cabin we've ever stayed in/ will every stay in... |

MUIR BEACH
This crew ran all over wine country and SF to celebrate our girl Brenda! |
