October-4th - Big Sur Got up early and headed to Big Sur - I was really looking forward to this portion of the trip. This certainly did not disappoint. I'm sure between Jody and I, we took well over 300 photos. This was definitely an "ooh and ahh" day. We started in Monterey and went down to Big Sur marker 23 which took us to a place that I had on our itinerary for a nice Pacific Ocean view for lunch. The burger and Reuben did not disappoint. As a BIG added bonus we timed it perfectly to visit the historic Point Sur Lighthouse. This was an unplanned stop that we PERFECTLY timed it to get included in the guided tour. Only 8 cars (approx 20 people) got to get this guided tour. That was it!!! 10 minutes later and we wouldn't have gotten this tour. We met some nice people on the tour. Once we ate at the Pacific Edge restaurant, we headed back to Carmel by the Sea and checked in to our hotel for tonight and tomorrow - The Tickle Pink Inn - another fantastic day!!!!
