Carmel-by-the-sea Trip September 2021

We visit Carmel-by-the-sea and other areas in Monterey county at least twice a year, so we post the same sort photos at least twice a year. They're still nice photos even if they are similar photos every time! These three are from the lastest trip in September. Here she is overlooking the Carmel beach.

And here she is on our favorite hike in Garland Ranch.

It's a rare thing, but we met a bunch of dogs along the hike and everyone was at the watering hole together. Drink up!

Central Coast Road Trip

We took a post-vaccination road trip down the central coast in early April and took Kargo The Dog along. These are some photos from the trip. Our first overnight stop was at the lovely Allegretto Vineyard Resort in Paso Robles. The resort has lots of art work, including this sculpture.

It also has this oversized chess set.

Here's some nice floral art in downtown Paso Robles.

The next stop was in Santa Barbara. Here's Kargo enjoying beach time at Arroyo Burro Beach Park.

We're taking a stroll through the Douglas Family Preserve, which overlooks the water.

The third overnight stop was in San Luis Obispo (aka "SLO"). Here we are in from the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art.

Kargo is posing in front of a tank at the Central Coast Veterans Memorial Museum.

SLO has Laguna Lake Park, which contains a large off-leash dog park.

This is the Monday Club, a building designed by Julia Morgan. (No dog in this photo)

Our final stop was in Carmel-by-the-Sea, which is one of my favorite places on the planet. Here's Kargo on Scenic Drive above the beach.

This is play time on the beach.

And of course, we always include a hike in Garland Ranch Regional Park to round out the trip.
