More of Big Sur and Carmel

My “I’m happy to be alive” face after finally arriving.  Check out

my last post

to read about our car accident.

Sea lions on the rock

Can you spot the two otters floating? 

Different types of sea birds on the rocks

These were all taken at Point Lobos

There is a dolphin to the left.  Do you see the fin sticking out?

The town of Carmel is so cute.  It looks like it is straight out of a fairytale.  You should totally visit it if you go to Big Sur!

          Like I said in my last post, we were visiting a bunch of state parks along Big Sur in hopes of finding a wedding spot.  I’m not sure if you are even allowed to elope at all of them yet so I have a bunch of research to do.  It’s going to be really hard to pick one but I think it’s between three places right now.  They are all so pretty.  We saw so many animals on this trip too! We saw some squirrels, seals and sea lions, a dolphin, sea otters, a deer, and all kinds of birds.  Big Sur and Carmel make the perfect getaway spot from the craziness of L.A.  It’s just such a fun place to go hiking and be in nature.
