In April 2024, my wife and I flew to Monterey, CA, rented a car, and the rest was history! We drove 1,000 miles passing through a number of small towns and large cities while appreciating the beauty that the Pacific Coast and it's countryside has to offer. After a long 8 days of visiting many landmarks like the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Redwood National Park, and more, we flew back home from Seattle, WA to Phoenix, AZ capping our journey up the west coast. Enjoy the waves!
