Getting wild on the coast

After San Fran, we took the Pacific Coast Highway south to San Simeon. The June gloom lifted early as we drove through Carmel-by-the-Sea.

We stopped at the Point Lobos Reserve for hiking along the seaside trails and views of seal lions, harbor seals, and many varieties of birds. The views were spectacular! The seals sunned themselves on the rocks and barked. Meanwhile, hundreds of birds nested on the rocks.

After Point Lobos, we continued south toward our evening destination. Just outside of San Simeon, we stopped off for a view of elephant seals who lie on the beaches. View a short video of the elephant seals here.

We finally reached the hotel where Kelly and Cece took some time for a relaxing dip in the spa pool before dinner. After a fine meal at the Manta Rey restaurant, we relaxed by the firepits perched along the bluffs above the sea. What a relaxing way to end the day!
