HWY 1 Adventure

Last Monday, Stephenson and I took full advantage of our days off and headed over the hill. Neither of us had ever been to Pebble Beach, so that was decided to be our first stop. So we headed over the hill around noon, hopped onto the 17 Mile drive along the coast, it was beautiful, a little chilly, but the views were amazing!! We didnt stop at every outlet they had for photo ops, but we did make sure to stop at the ones that caught our eyes.

...after a few hours of exploring Pebble Beach we hopped back onto HWY 1 and headed back North to Capitola for lunch. Now, we have a beach house in Capitola, so I have been there countless time, but never have I been to Margaritaville!! By the time we got into downtown the fog had cleared and it was absolutely beautiful, so we ate outside soaking in all of God's beauty and of course some yummy food :)

...After our belly's were full and our faces were burnt we walked around downtown for a few minuets making sure to stop at my favorite candy store and fill up on a bag of Taffy!! We then headed over to Santa Cruz Boardwalk and rode a few rides, we were lucky enough to be there at the $1 per ride time!! After about an hour there were hopped back onto HWY 1 North and headed to Davenport, to my favorite beach... Pelican Rock!! When we got there we were the ONLY ones there... it was a perfect way to end our adventure. Stephenson is from Colorado and has never touched the ocean, so this trip was all based around this monumental event happening!! We didn't count the pictures of him getting wet by the waves at Pebble Beach his "first" experience... But we were able to take our time here, enjoy each others company, some great conversation and of course the epic event of his first time touching the Pacific :)



Its not the breaths we take in life, but its the moments that take our breath away :)
