Driving to San Francisco via Hwy 1

This afternoon we drove back to San Francsico to spend the weekend with my brother, Jeff, his wife Ying (Connie) and their daughter Michelle. We haven't seen them for over 2 1/2 years since we all went to China together to meet Ying's family.

The drive up along the Hwy 1 is really beautiful with the high cliffs of rock and long drops down to the ocean. The waves look hugh from above.

Pigeon Point Lighthouse

We stopped along the way and saw some cool looking seals sunning on the rocks.

California Coastline

Monday was our day to leisurely explore the CA coastline from Watsonville down through Pebble Beach. The day started sunny with temperatures in the mid-fifties that was so nice compared to the snowy mid-teens weather we left behind in NJ/PA. As we drove down Hwy 1 we stopped first at Moss Landing to see the egrets, seals and surfers. We stopped whenever we saw anything that we wanted to explore or where we wanted to take pictures. The scenery was spectacular with waves crashing on the rocky shorelines and beaches. We spent the driving time talking and reminiscing about our childhoods along with talking about Mom & Dad.Pictured are Brown Pelican, Great Egret, Western Scrub Jay, Western Meadowlark and Seals.
