Weekend Getaway - Monterey, Carmel & Santa Cruz

We headed up to Monterey for Bill's annual Sea Otter Classic mountain bike race. It was a picture perfect weekend with above average temps.

Foggy morning in Monterey before the race.

Later we had a picnic enjoying the wonderful weather.

Feeding the ducks.

Next we were off to Carmel - another one of our favorite spots to visit.

A few doorways I found in Carmel - such a charming town.

Our last day we decided to check-out Santa Cruz. They had unusually high temps in the 90's - so we made it a short and sweet visit since it was getting hot and crowded.
