With Mémé in town, we thought it would be fun to make a trip south to Carmel Valley for two nights. We stayed in a rustic little bungalow, situated in a lush garden. It was the perfect size for us a great launch pad for the surrounding area.

It was the cutest little one bedroom with a fireplace. We all fit comfortably. The grounds had a BBQ we used one night, and a spacious lawn with enough room for volleyball and bocce.

We always make a trip down to this beach when we visit the Monterey area. The tide pooling is good, and rock formations are fun to climb on. 

Asilomar State Beach

We drove down the coast 30 miles to take in the sights of Big Sur

We stopped in Carmel by the Sea for breakfast and a little beach time.
