Pebble Beach (5 stars)

I have these summer goals and last year driving 17 Mile Drive at Pebble Beach was on my list of things to do. I thought it would be fun to go with someone but that opportunity never presented itself so this year I decided to get out of Dodge and go by myself, and Sandy.
It was a good 2 hour drive but we were both geared up for it.
Sandy has never been to the ocean before so she loved that she could just jump right in and and take a big refreshing gulp of water like she does at the rivers and lakes here. Well no more than an hour later she threw it all up. It was foamy too. I think she learned her lesson. :) She drank about 3 water bottles after that.

We walked about 3 miles along the coast line. They have a little trail that takes you along. It's so rewarding to go there and be 80 degrees while it was over 105 in Manteca that afternoon. It was very hard to leave but after 6 hours we still had a long drive ahead of us and we were pooped already. The pictures speak for themselves.
