Tickle Pink Inn Carmel

... more ideas to make the Floride trip easier; don't forget the pot to make coffee & tea and find more comfortable mattresses for under our sleeping bags. Shona slept like a dog.

Shona still thinks she is going to the vet (alittle anxious) everytime she gets into the car. But she settled down and did great at the camp site.

Can't wait to start the trip. Florida or bust!

... colour in the sun, very exciting! Then found a half price jewellers and got a new ring to replace Charlotte's lost one yay. Then went on the 17 mile drive around the Monterey peninsula, saw big waves and the famous Lone Cypress Tree. Charlotte then fell asleep during the Day After Tomorrow, which was very exciting having now been to New York and LA!   

... and I could crawl in a decent amount. "Shelves" made of roots were inside, that's where I'd keep my food. The roots almost made a chair as well...and thats a living room if I'd ever seen one.

Christa and I made some balancing rocks before our trek back down the mountain began. I had lots of trouble getting back down, switching between sliding out of my wet flips to going barefoot. Neither was great since sliding out was grip ...

... pay student prices as we looked like we could get away with it which was nice of her, this lowered the cost by $10 to $52. We spent a couple of hours looking around at all the amazing sea life including cute little sea otters that liked nibbling their own butthole, seahorses, jellyfish, tuna, sardines and starfish which you were allowed to pick up. Another fast food dinner this time at Wendy's which was ropey and left us feeling quite ill.

... I may look into one for myself for use when the big one's too big to carry around. Also had a big surprise. In the room they give you complementary Sherry. Normally, mom and I don't like alcoholic beverages, but this one isn't just okay, it's actually downright good. Considering I've had a mild sore throat all day, having 3 sips of a very good Sherry (best either of us has ever tasted) isn't a bad "medicine" :D Now, to bed.

... just after 7 and came back to the cottage. We planned on going on to dinner. But after a couple glasses of wine and a very adventurous day the idea of cooking in seems to be a better idea at this point. We are truly having the time of our lives. Coming on a vacation like this is a dream. I have to pinch myself that it is real. I am so appreciative to have this opportunity and am enjoying every minute of every day. Truly, this is a dream come true.

... of Monterey & the rich town of Carmel with the famous Golf Course. The headland was full of interesting wind bent trees. We stayed a little bit inland where it wasn't as expensive.

... Those of you stuck in Athens or Dalton may be a little jealous after seeing these pictures. This drive was absolutely amazing, and again it was sunny and around 70 degrees with a breeze coming in from the ocean. Tomorrow it is off to San Francisco with a stay in Sacramento.
