Not Just 17 Miles

It's hard to believe that it's been a little over 6 months since Molly and I were married. Time certainly flies! After our wedding in Chico, Molly and I escaped for the week to Carmel for rest, relaxation, sightseeing, and lots of delicious eating. And while there, we certainly couldn't pass up 17-Mile Drive.

With an entrance near Downtown Carmel, Molly and I grabbed some snacks provided to us by her family in a little honeymoon basket and began the trek through the Monterey Peninsula. 17-Mile Drive is scenic, passing through Carmel, Pebble Beach, and Pacific Grove. It hugs the Pacific coastline, meanders through famous golf courses and stunning mansions, and is pebbled with small parking lots and turnouts for those looking to capture the scenery.

I hope you enjoy a little photo diary of some of the sights of 17-Mile Drive. I've already shared with you (way back in December) the squirrel love story I captured while at one of the beach turnouts on this scenic drive. Take some time below to peruse the other animals, plants, and beautiful terrain of this portion of the peninsula.
