Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

Today's blog wraps up our weekend getaway to Monterey, and boy were we feeling like we were the rich and famous - ok so not so rich and not so famous....

After we  had breakfast at our amazing B&B, we did the 17 mile Drive (the famous Pebble Beach route).  The last time I did this was apparently in high school - I thought it was longer - and Dave's never done it.  Of course we came upon one or two dream homes...

There are about 19 different turn outs where you can park the car and explore.  This one was one of the few beaches you could walk on, most were gated off.

Further down the road is the world famous - Lone Cypress.  This tree has sat alone on the rocks for more than 250 years.  These Cypress trees have a life expectancy of 300 years.

And then there's the very ritzy Pebble Beach - this is the Lodge/Golf Club.

After doing the 17 Mile Drive, we went back to Cannery Row to do some wine tasting.

 

Unfortunately responsibility called - we had to drive out to pick up Drew who stayed at Camp Grammy's.  Of course the 2:30 trip took more like 4 hours - since it took us 2 hours to get about 40 miles.
