And Then We...

grabbed a bite to eat near our hotel. Everybody knew I had a surprise planned that night, but nobody had a clue what it was. By the time we left, they were convinced we were going on a boat ride to look for sharks (???).








I read about this activity on Trip Advisor and since roasting marshmallows make for a good night around our fire pit, I thought we'd give it a try. We had very specific directions to get to the "secret" location on Carmel Beach. Once we arrived, we had a fire pit set up, a couple small blankets, a box with s'more supplies, a bucket with water and some extra firewood. I think Morgan was especially relieved we were not going shark hunting! It was about 6:00 at night and we couldn't have picked a nicer evening. We've never been to a Northern California beach without warm clothing, but last night was just beautiful. The fog stayed out and until the sun went down, it was a gorgeous evening. I also couldn't have picked a better location. The picture of Garrett has Pebble Beach Golf Course in the background. Sand, surf, and greens, what could be prettier?

This morning we went back to the beach and again, no fog, and warm. It's about a 1 1/2 hour drive from our house and we will definitely be going back again.

By the way, not far from our bonfire was another one set up by the same company. It was the proposal package and we really enjoyed "spying" on this couple get engaged. A romantic proposal indeed.
