My mom and I went on a road trip up to Cambria about 5 or so years ago and I just fell in love with the place. I had such good memories there that I convinced Rene to go up there with me a few years later. This was our fourth trip up there and it still stands, in my mind, as one of the most exceptional places in California.
We scored a room in the back of the Palms Motel. It opened up to this:
We sat out on those chairs and just instantly eased into relaxation.
Beautiful girl. She gets to sleep in the bed with us when we are on vacation. She digs it a lot.
We were checking out the baby elephant seals.
And then the tide pools in San Simeon.
This is Moonstone Beach in Cambria. There's some great running to be had there. I loved it! There was even a bagpiper playing in the background.
We brought our bikes a used them to get around. Bringing them was a good call because it helped us burn off the calories from the outrageous ham and cheese croissants that we became addicted to.
