Big Sur
We dropped by the Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo on our way out of idyllic Carmel. We didn't stay very long as the Mission was soon overrun by cyclists on tour.
We stopped by the Golden Buddha for lunch. We split the vegetable potstickers. Shel got the Hunan tofu; Jason got the Cashews Vegetarian. More Chinese food. At least the restaurant served brown rice. The Barnyard, the name of the complex where the restaurant is located, was very pretty. It's no wonder that shopping is the most popular hobby in Carmel.
We continued south on Highway 1 through Big Sur, and took many pictures along the way. We stopped by Pfeiffer Falls trail, and made our way up to the top. The falls were pretty, and worth the short hike. Another couple recommended we stop by Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park to see the McWay Falls Overlook, if we wanted to see more of the same. Boy, did they ever miss the mark! The Pfeiffer Falls are pretty, but the McWay Falls are breathtaking, falling 80 feet into the ocean. When was the last time you saw a waterfall feed into an ocean? (Amalio, you're not allowed to answer.)

We are definitely talking more about kids ourselves these days....
We remember that crazy trip. We still joke about the Pizza Hut, too. And don't forget about the restaurant/video store/market/fishing license/bait shop we had the pleasure of visiting! :)
Of course Shel wouldn't take being part of the family as an insult. =) She's real happy to have a sister now, too.
The Pizza Hut is water under the bridge. It's good we can look back and laugh at ourselves. ;)
