Last California post, which it should be since we left for this trip a month ago yesterday! Plus I can start posting the other fun stuff we have been doing!
In case you missed the other California vacation posts:
After touring the Hearst Castle, we drove on to where we stayed for the night in Cambria. Cambria is a tiny seaside town that we decided is mostly a place for retired people! We stayed at a little mom and pop hotel called the Sea Otter Inn. It was nothing fancy, but clean and charming. It was located right across the street from the ocean.
We had our own little patio garden.
There were beautiful flowers all over the grounds.
It is fitting it is called the Sea Otter Inn because right across from it there were all these sea otters bathing on the rock.
Crazy squirrel! There was a board walk along the water that we walked along. There were tons of squirrels and they were quite friendly.
Pretty beach cottages
We walked along the water then decided to go into town and find somewhere to eat. We found a Mexican place called Las Cambritas. It was pretty good. We tried to find somewhere to get ice cream after dinner, but every where was closed by 6:00 pm! This is when we decided we were in the land of old people and there was not going to be much to do after dinner. We decided to drive to a nature reserve and walk a little more along the water before it got dark.
Self timer pic! This was a feat to accomplish!
We woke up early and drove back to San Francisco in the morning. We stopped at an In-n-Out and Eric was very happy. When we got into San Francisco, we drove across the Golden Gate Bridge.
We went to a place called the Marin Headlands where we had heard you could see great views of the bridge. This was as close as we could get. The road was closed for construction. It was a great place to view the bridge and the city.
Eric relaxing in out hotel. We stayed at Kensington Park Hotel. It was really nice and we enjoyed the hotel except for being woken up at 1:00 am by our neighbors in the room next door who would not go to sleep! I swear they stayed up all night. We had to call downstairs like three times. It was horrible!
Giants game! We headed down to the stadium area early to walk around and have some beers at Public House.
While we were at Public House, I "checked in" on facebook and Eric's coworker Jamie wrote me that I had to try this beer. She and her husband had just been there a couple of weeks before. I ordered it and am so glad I did! It is called Hell or High Watermelon and it was so good! Unfortunately they do not distribute in Texas. I am on a mission to get more of this beer!
It got pretty packed inside.

They had so many different food choices inside the stadium. Here is Eric's bratwurst.
It was a beautiful day! Not a cloud in the sky! We sat on the side overlooking the bay.
The Giants played the Minnesota Twins and got killed!
Made a new friend! There was a group of students from Singapore who were studying at Stanford (smarties!). I chatted with him throughout the game. He was fun!
And that's it! We had a great time at the game, had a beer at a pub near the hotel, and went to bed (although we did not sleep - see above!). The next morning we had an awesome breakfast at Sears. Not the store! Sears Fine Food. So good! Then we were off to the airport. We had an awesome first anniversary trip! We really enjoyed our time in California (and the weather!) and will definitely be going back to explore more. My vote is for Napa!! Thanks Eric for a great trip! Love you!
