Before I share the second stop on my anniversary trip, would you please sit down, relax for a moment and share some tea with me?
I made a Triple Berry Crisp with a little dab of whipped cream
Anniversary Part 2
I've divided our trip into bit-size chunks to share with you. Today I'm sharing our second two days spent in Monterey.
We stayed at the Gosby House Bed & Breakfast in the main house. It's in the town of Pacific Grove just a few blocks up from the ocean and Cannery Row in Monterey.
Our room was a little small but had lots of charm. Each room is uniquely different...and flowers everywhere, on wallpaper, pillows & bedspread.
In the evening the bed is turned down and a rose and chocolates are left. There is a bear mascot in every room.
This is Lover's Point Beach...
It was a little bit too cold for lovers I guess, we didn't see any on the beach as we passed by to climb the rocks on the other side and look in the tide pools.
We walked to the end of the wharf and tried all the samples of clam chowder. Which one was the best? I'm not going to tell. It takes all the fun out of it if you don't try them yourself.
We passed the "bird man" with all his beautiful birds...ready and willing to pose for a picture!
I love all the old boats tied up to the pier bobbing up and down with the tide...
We visited the Cannery Row Antiques Mall again and picked up a couple things. I was sad to not find a teacup this time but I did find a couple of painted plates that I liked.
This one is actually not a plate but a trivet.
I happened to be there on a day they were having a half off sale! How nice!
That wraps up our stay in Monterey...next week I'll share our last two days in Lake Tahoe.
Hope you have a wonderful day today!
God bless you,
Charlotte
We can sit out front by the Daisys and Black Eyed Susans...
(The pictures are a little washed out without more contrast in colors...sorry)
I made a Triple Berry Crisp with a little dab of whipped cream
and some tea in my Royal Albert tea cup
It wasn't easy getting the Black Eyed Susans in the picture, I had to stand on a chair above them!
Now...on with the trip
