A sunny day along the Pacific Coast Highway

Last weekend we finally had some sun so we decided to go for a drive along highway 1. We started in Santa Cruz with a visit to the Boardwalk. Cindy's parents enjoyed the beach and a short walk along the pier. We had lunch at the boardwalk before setting off north on highway 1.

We stopped at several little beaches to check out kite surfers or just the views. We turned around after our visit to Pigeon Point Light House and made our way back to Santa Cruz and then home. A very nice day with lots of sunshine and nice vistas.

We decided to take a drive along the coast on highway 1 earlier this week. The weather has been amazing and we wanted to take advantage of it and get some sun.

We started from San Francisco, made our first pit stop to refuel Maya and watched surfers on the waves.

We continued down the coast making stops mainly when it was time for Maya to eat. In Pacifica we decided to have lunch and found a nice Italian restaurant right by the water with a lovely view. This was Mayas first visit to a restaurant but she pulled it off like a pro. She even started charming our waitress with big smiles and cooing.

We ended the trip at San Gregorio beach which is a really nice spot. The little river outlet carries down tons of drift wood to the beach which then visitors use to build all sorts of structures. It's like an open air art gallery sometimes and very interesting to visit.
