We started the trip down the coast and had enough time to make a few pitstops. This was Shea’s first time on 17 Mile Drive. Snoopy and Bonnie have been amazing and getting lots of beach time in. We made it to Pismo Beach right before dark. We almost took PCH all the way there, but there was a road closure due to a mudslide that forced us to go all the way back up to Monterey and take 101 down, but it was lovely the whole time. Shea really enjoyed some of the non-touristy nooks and crannies I showed him in my dad’s hometown of Monterey.

We HAD to do it, thanks to the kindness of a stranger. I am still looking for Point Shea!
