We decided to do some sightseeing on our way through San Francisco, and got some great pictures by the Golden Gate Bridge (or "Golden Bridge" as Beckett called it) on our way south. We somehow timed it that we got these pictures in the 5 minute window that it wasn't raining and the sun came out!
Alcatraz
even though it wasn't raining, it was still really windy
We wanted to drive along the ocean on Hwy 1 as much as we could, so we headed down towards Monterey on the 1, and ran into some nasty spurts of rain along the way..... And then we got our first glimpse of the ocean! As you can see, the storms were creating pretty big waves. In any case, it was beautiful scenery.
We stopped in Monterey for the night and got a hotel right on the beach, with an ocean view. What a treat! Even with the stormy weather, it was amazing. This was our view for the evening:
We went out to eat on the Fisherman's Wharf at a restaurant called Old Fisherman's Grotto to celebrate my 28th birthday.
Traveling across the Golden Gate Bridge....foamy Pacific Ocean waves.....Seafood dinner in Monterey?? That's definitely a birthday to remember!
