Decided to be like the city folk and get stuck in traffic first thing in the morning. Headed to Katies in SANTA CRUZ,CA for a quick and heartfelt breakfast before continuing South. We discovered Monterey Bay shortly after and we had tickets to the MONTEREY BAY AQUARIUM!!!! (thanks to Uncle Jimmy!!!!) It was amazing! I felt like a little kid screaming “Natasha, look!” over and over. Smiles all around as we got a glimpse of the critters in the Deap Blue Sea! Later, BIG SUR provided many post card worthy pictures, and many stops including a short visit to PFIEFFER BEACH. We were on the edge of the earth winding back and forth, hugging the land. Once we made it as far south as San Luis Obispo we started seeing SEALS on the beaches! They were super cute Elephant Seals and right now is they are coming to the beach to mate! As the sun went down so did our energy level, we stayed in a motel outside of Los Angeles to end day 3.
