Big Sur Excursion

Ok...disclaimer...I accidentally deleted this photo from the list below, so I had to put it back on here so it would make sense, and for some reason I cannot copy and paste these photos back into order. Anyone have any tips??? Anyways....here is our trip to Big Sur, California!


We were looking for a little vacation getaway together and Jason had the best idea to take me to Big Sur! We sort of camped out overnight one saturday night and then headed back home Sunday afternoon after taking in the beautiful sights! I just realized with this latest blog posting that I need to upload the newest pictures last to be able to accurately show the story of our trip! I will try to do this in the future! But for now, you will just have to bear with me on this!




Beautiful beach in Carmel, CA




Even thought it looks kind of gross I thought the seaweed was really cool looking, hence the need to document and take a picture of it!


It is amazing how beautiful the coastline really is!



As we were driving home from our trip to Big Sur it just kind of dawned on us that this is CARMEL, CA the famous winery town! We will have to come back for another visit some time!



This was such a stunning view...if you look closely in the background you can see the road and the huge bridge we later drove across! It was so much fun cruising the coastline in the AUDI!




Albino Redwood Tree.....the only one ever known of lives right here at the Fernwood Campground in Big Sur!



Ok....so backward pics remember, we were cooking our broccoli, or attempting to anyways!

Our VERY well done chicken cooked camp fire style and our chili beans! We accidentally lost half of the beans on transfer from the grill to the plate! This chicken was good enough to eat with plenty of ranch and BBQ sauce!


The master chef at work...my husband can cook up some chicken like you wouldn't believe!

The charcoal + light fluid fire wasn't quite big enough to reach the mini grill so we actually had to go and buy some firewood to create a bigger fire....and we were nice and lent our lighter fluid to a couple that was having trouble getting their fire started and literally about an hour or so later they finally returned it to us....we were sure they had run off with our lighter fluid!





So J has this hat that I think is absolutely hilarious and since I was the one that packed us up for the trip I decided to bring this hat along for him to wear....he was pretty surprised I had brought this hat and later explained to me that his grandmother had given it to him and he didn't have the heart to get rid of it....but never actually wears it! So....he got some use out of it for one of the first times! Made me giggle a lot!



Cozy little general store at the campground, complete with a sleeping kitty!



The infamous "tent cabin" which literally was a tent-cabin!


J trying to unpack and create a little nest for us!



Early morning shot, before J had his coffee!



The cutest little office snuggled in with all the redwoods!



Saturday night adventures! We were sightseeing in the dark!



I believe this place is called Aphrodites or something to that extent...it is a really awesome outdoors patio overlooking the ocean on a huge cliff in Big Sur. I am sure it was really expensive to eat here....luckily they just let us peruse around and check out the sites....and J helped me to discover that my camera has a night shot mode! I love this picture!


Sunset snapshot with a sliver of the moon! It was really romantic to watch the sunset with the love of my life! I feel so blessed to wake up every morning knowing I am right where I belong, in the arms of my soul mate!







First day of our trip to Big Sur....had a heart to heart on one of these boulders overlooking the ocean! I will never forget the first time I ever saw Big Sur!
