Day 5 Highlights

This was such a long day. To start off, my godparents took us out for breakfast at this local spot in Carmel...

Lavender blooms...


Followed by a visit to Mission Carmel. Below is Fr. Junipero Serra's tomb...

We also took a quick jaunt up to a mini redwood forest...

Lunch was spent here at the Santa Cruz boardwalk...

Of course, we had to get dessert.  In this case, at an artisanal ice cream place, also in Santa Cruz.

That's my white godfather's hair/head you see in the rear view mirror. Here we are driving back down for dinner, passing the power plant at Moss Landing...

We saw this in front of the restaurant!

Currently in LA spending our last night on vacay...So tired!

I used to drive to Capitola to visit a friend (next to Santa Cruz) and to eat at Margaritaville.
