Big Sur

Big Sur was yet another one of those times we ended up changing our plans. I'm not sure why, but we had it in our heads that Big Sur was a town with lots to do. As it turned out, it is a strip along the highway consisting of lots of VERY expensive hotels, a couple of restaurants and a couple of small boutiques. The scenery along the coast was beautiful and the beaches seemed very nice, but as for things to see and do...not so much. As we weren't quite ready to sit on a beach for a few days, we stopped in Big Sur for lunch and then kept going.

There were lots of lookouts along the highway and we tried to stop at each of them.

As we were back on the twisty, winding roads, the kids needed to stop often to get some fresh air. I think they were sad to see the long, straight roads of Nevada in the past.
