Early October is the most wonderful time to visit California's Central Coast. This time, we returned along with a handful of family and friends to get married.
One of our excursions was a trip down Highway 1 to Big Sur. On a clear and sunny day, the drive is nothing short of majestic. Take your time. Stop by at several of the lookout points and drink in the views of the great blue expanse of the Pacific Ocean, sparkling like a jewel under the sun. Feel the crisp, clean air whip through you. Marvel at the canyons and sheer bluffs that drop straight into the ocean. Hear the waves smash onto the rocks, on which several dozen seals lounge en masse.
After the wedding we drove some 100+ miles on Highway 1 all the way down to Morro Bay - through hairpin curves hugging the Santa Lucia Mountain Range and past state parks, lighthouses, coastal prairies and beaches. The drive was a bit long because we kept stopping at various lookout points. It's not the most efficient way to get to southern California, but it was a memorable once in a lifetime experience.
