Carmel
So, Becky’s TV show is about to go into production, so with the 4th of July up, we decided to take a trip out to Carmel-by-the-sea. Yes, that’s the town’s real name, and Google has made a habit of correcting me when I shorten it to “Carmel, CA”.
If you’re not in “the know”, Carmel is this gorgeous (and very shi-shi) little seaside village, just outside of Monterey, which is itself right across the bay from Santa Cruz. So, now that you’ve got that little bit of mental geography tucked away, the trip.
Carmel, is absolutely beautiful, and if you’re not careful, you could easily mistake it for any town in Italy or France, with cute little restaurants, galleries, and coffee shops. The town itself is tiny, and you can walk tho whole thing is a few hours. We stayed well-fed on pizza and pastries, downed in coffee, and did a wee bit of shopping (I picked up one of these things, and I absolutely love it), and when we got bored, we stopped by Monterey, to check out the aquarium there.
Good times all around, and you can check out the photos on Flickr!

I can’t believe you used this picture - when I first saw it, I was horrified by my “cankles” - and those who know me well know that I have simply ADORABLE ankles.
The perspective from which this picture was taken clearly did not allow for angles and proper shading to show my otherwise flawless calves and ankles, and I am quite embarrassed by it.
