Birthday shenanigans continued!

After camping in Big Sur, we traveled up PCH towards Carmel, stopping along the way to see McWay Falls and hike Ewoldsen Trail. The Falls is why many people go to Big Sur and the Trail is serene and simply nature at its best.

The birthday shenanigans continued in downtown Carmel at La Baelana, where we had polpo grigliato - grilled octopus. It's a must! Afterwards, we walked to the beach. We started a small fire, turned up Jack Johnson, and just relaxed, counting our blessings.

We crashed at the Colonial Terrace Inn. In the morning, we sat by the outdoor fireplace, sipped coffee, and read the local newspaper as grownups do.

After breakfast, we traveled to Monterey and rode our bicycles around town, checking out the local digs. We made a stop at Point Pinos Lighthouse, which has a rich history and killer view. We concluded the birthday trip by picking up fresh seafood to cook for dinner later that night. Another great adventure in the history books!
