17 Mile Drive / Pebble Beach / Carmel, California | Grand Trip Out West

(click here to start at the beginning, then click "Newer Post" at the bottom)

We spent a full day driving around the Monterey peninsula on 17 Mile Drive. The scenery is breathtaking!














There are 5 golf courses on the Monterey peninsula, and this was the tee for one of the holes.


See the seals on the rocks?


You might know this would be the day I didn't take my telephoto lens. You can't see them very well, but those little black dots are sea otters!


The Lone Cyprus








So then we went to the famous Pebble Beach golf course. And we saw this.








And this.




What a beautiful place.




The Lodge at Pebble Beach


This is where all the spectators stand for golf tournaments!


18th Green


The Lodge


You know, it costs only about $500 to play 18 holes of golf there. And about twice that much to stay there. Wow.





Graeme McDowell (pronounced Graham)


Oh, and then we saw this.










Many years ago, this house belonged to a distant relative on Daddy's mother's side of the family. It's in Carmel.




Carmel Beach


You can see Pebble Beach from there.


Oh yeah. :)




We watched the surfers for a while. It looked like so much fun!

For the love of travel,
