This was the view out the front door at the hotel of the cute town.We stopped at along the drive at various scenic view points, where ever we felt like it, as we headed South towards Monterey.
Our first stop along Hwy. 101.
Honestly, these waves put the waves at the Oregon Coast to shame!
Sure don't know what happened, but this was the only self-portrait, usually, I remember every where we go, it was really windy!

Pigeon Point LighthouseAfter Pigeon Point Lighthouse we headed down to Santa Cruz.
We drove through Santa Cruz, but the Boardwalk was closed, so we continued on South to Capitola.Capitola was a cute little seaside town, were we had lunch right on the water.
With a wonderful view, the only problem was the sea gulls and other birds looking for hand outs and dive bombing.We walked around some of the shops in Capitola and then decided to head on towards Monterey.
In Monterey there was lots of walking around, we went in several shops including Ghiradelli (!Chocolate!), where it smelled heavenly and we were offered samples of their holiday peppermint chocolates.I have a few more pictures left from the drive home, before it got ugly and gray, that I'll post tomorrow.

Beautiful shots! And your self-portrait was adorable, even if you thought it was too windy =) It looks like such a great time.
The ocean awes and scares me at the same time. ;} Cute self-portrait! Gulls can be so audacious...the tame ones scare me, but we enjoy identify the different species.
