Do they put something in the water?
We (my family) took my grandmother out of her nursing home today for a trip to Monterey Bay & Carmel. We started with lunch at this little French restaurant in Carmel on Mission between Ocean and 7th that my mom insists we go to everytime we're in the area. The food was delicious as usual (well, I haven't had it since I was in 11th grade, but it was certainly delicious) and for once my sister and I managed to save room for dessert...mocha custard with strawberries on top, yum =) After lunch we wheeled my grandma down Ocean Avenue for a few blocks so we could check out all the gorgeous flowers the city has planted everywhere and the art galleries. We concluded that the city of Carmel must put something in their water because the flowers there are so bright and uniquely colored, too bad I left my digital camera in LA...boo =(
After Carmel we went on the 17-mile drive starting with the Pebble Beach resort area. There were some amazing views (again hating myself for not bringing the camera up), and more brightly colored flowers but it wasn't the most wheelchair accessible place so we continued on. When we got to the lone tree cypress (or something like that) we stopped and fed all these tiny squirrels peanuts and stared out at the beautiful view for so long that my grandma decided she did want to come out of the car too. After that we pretty much just made a couple more stops along the beaches and headed back to Fremont for some chinese food at 3-6-9.
All in all a nice day with the family. I think I'm going to be more homesick now than I was before.
