We had such a great time in Carmel Valley I didn't want to come home. Everything was so idyllic. Coming back to 95 sweaty degrees with humidity making the heat index 115 just about killed me after being in an average of 75 degrees with lovely breezes and amazing ocean views.

We were lucky enough to get a convertible. If you ever go to California in the summer, upgrade to a convertible, it made our trip even more amazing.

The mountains and the ocean were more than my spirit could absorb. Mother Nature has out done herself in Carmel. She is showing her stuff and making sure she is noticed.
