I am a 5th generation Californian, and I am extremely proud of that fact as we are few and far between. I am also constantly bragging about what a beautiful state California is. When Tanya and I first met I was always encouraging her to come visit to see that it was all I claimed it was. I will never forget the first time I took her down Hwy 1 through Big Sur. I thought she was going to suffer whiplash from all the rapid spinning of her head to catch as much scenery as possible.

My photo of the day for Monday is of Tanya and me along the Big Sur River. You can see all the photos from Monday’s drive along the coast at http://www.gotbaddog.com/photos-of-the-california-coastline/
