Last night Eric and I arrived at secret location #2: Carmel-by-the-Sea. And yes, Aunt Keri, it is right next to the artichoke capital of the world! After our tour of the Carriage House Inn, Eric and I found a nearby place for dinner. The place we chose had outside dining with a fire place. We had a great dinner and stayed cozy warm!
This morning we slept in and woke up to breakfast delivery. With nothing on the agenda, we took our time eating & getting ready for the day.
We walked through most of Carmel before lunch. The town reminds us of Highlands, but is a little bigger and includes some designer shops like Coach, J. Crew, and Anthropologie and dozens of art & antique galleries. Eric’s doing his best to keep me from spending all our honeymoon money. So far, only one gag-gift purchased!
Lunch was at a seafood restaurant the innkeeper recommended last night. And then we walked through town again in search of the perfect snack. We found a sweet shop and enjoyed one too many pieces of fudge.
Although the town & weather are perfect, the wedding/traveling exhaustion finally set in, so we spent much of the afternoon paying bills, watching CSI, and catching a little shut eye. I finally made Eric call the rental car company to see what could be down about the broken splash guard the has been dragging along the road as we drive. Good thing we called it an early day, because it’s taken Eric over an hour to remove it.
We have early dinner reservations in “the valley” (a surprise location to me), that I believe involves some wine!
