Big Sur



I hope you had a good (long?) weekend! Cam had today off from school thanks to Columbus Day, so one of the things we did was drive the gorgeous stretch of coastline down to Big Sur. It's only about a 45 minute drive away, winding along the cliffside with stunning views of the Pacific. Every bend has cars pulled over with people taking photos, picnicking or just admiring the view.


When the fog rolls in like this, it almost feels like you're high up on a mountaintop peaking out above a blanket of clouds in the sky. It's a beautiful sight.


We hiked the Ewoldsen Trail, which I would recommend if you're ever in the area ~ it has beautiful vistas overlooking the ocean, groves of ancient redwoods and an ethereal feel to it, but I've gotta say, it was a tough hike straight uphill. Either that or I am just way out of shape!! Normally I'm right at Cam's heels, able to talk with my husband. This time I was just concentrating on breathing. Ha! Near this pretty spot is also where we took in gouda & apple slices, bread, water and those delicious peanut butter cups from Trader Joe's I'd made sure to pack.


I could not stop laughing. John Shea literally chit-chatted the entire way up, and then passed out like this for the whole way down. It totally cracks me up seeing the positions that he can sleep in and hearing him deep-sleep snore. I also love that Cam hiked the whole day with his sippy cup!
