Project 365 Hits Big Sur
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/

Santa Cruz to San Simeon
After a fun evening in Santa Cruz we grabbed some coffee and headed down CA Hwy 1. It was another spectacular day and it held promise for some great coastline photos. We were not disappointed. The CA coastline actually faces north, south and west so depending on the direction faced the scenery can be quite different, from calm blue coves to tumultuous waves crashing on the gigantic rocks that are prevalent along the coast in that area.
If you have never driven along the California coastline, you owe it to yourself to do it at least once. It is a very long, slow drive but it is worth every moment.

Photos From Marin County and Santa Cruz
Tiburon, Pt Reyes and Santa Cruz
We drove a couple hundred miles back to Novato on Saturday so we could have brunch with my aunt and uncle on Sunday. I have not spent enough time with either in far too long, so it was nice having a few hours. The weather kept getting better. I could not believe it. We went for brunch at a nice outdoor cafe on the water in Tiburon. Afterward, we drove to Point Reyes then out by the Marin Headlands to take a few more photos. By the time we got out of the San Francisco area I knew we were only going to make it to Santa Cruz.
In Santa Cruz, we met up with my friend Lars, captain of team Legendary MoBro, the reason I shaved it all off a couple weeks ago for the Movember Foundation. Remember, you can still donate. Anyway, we eventually found a pet friendly motel and a really nice Italian restaurant, Caffe Lucio. Good food, very entertaining atmosphere and very nice Tiramisu.
