Central Coast - Carmel & 17 mile Drive

We checked out the Carmel Mission and were pretty amazed at how beautiful it was.  I had read that it was worth seeing and that it was one of the most complete missions in California but still wasn't sure what to expect.

It was painstakingly restored with much detail and looked amazing.



It was definitely one to see while we were in the area.

After the mission we did the 17 mile drive.  It was pretty foggy in places but it was still a spectacular coastline.

It got pretty cold as well, so it was nice going back to the warm car :)



This was one of the deer's we saw along the way.  We saw a lot more on the golf course which was cool but they just weren't in their natural habitat!  We wish it could have been a bit clearer but it did bring a different mood to the drive and we did enjoy it.
