It was going to be around 70 degrees so why not do a short trip. So we packed. When we left TV's we headed over the Bay Bridge and went south on Highway 1. We drove to Half Moon Bay and found a hotel and checked in for the night. Then we explored the town. This photo needs major cropping. In a park there was a statue of a man holding a pumpkin. Attached to our hotel was "The Disneyland of Pubs" or so the sign said. It had places to play and good food. Looks like beer is popular there too. The next morning we headed south on Highway 1. We passed a rock covered with seals. This rock was covered with birds. We got to Santa Cruz and checked into our hotel. Next we had a meal at Stagnaro's (sp?) on the pier which looks at the ocean and the boardwalk. After lunch we drove to Capitola for a walk. I found beautiful metal straws. I carry them in a plastic bag for restaurant. They also sold the brushes for washing. We always stop at this wall mural for a photo. Capitola is famous for this multicolored group of rentals. The sun wasn't right and we didn't walk on the sand so my photo is a bit sad. The next morning we headed to our last stop, Monterey. We checked into the hotel and headed to the pier for a walk. We love going when everything is locked up. We found a new restaurant had opened at the end and decided to return for lunch. So after taking Dan to a records store that had albums for a dollar we returned for our meal. For the very first time he ordered clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl. OH MY it was so good and the bread the best ever made. We will have to have this again each time we are in Monterey. The next morning before leaving for home we drove down Cannery Row. Again everything was locked up just the way we like it to be. On our way home we stopped at a favorite antique store in Gilroy. They had some wonderful tiki mugs for good prices but we left them behind. We continue to downsize our collection. It was a fun fast trip. Since returning home I have worked hard on Phase Four of Wish List 2018. I will check to see if I'm caught up on posting and when I am I will begin to show these projects. Cheers, Wendy
