CARMEL BY THE SEA – NATURE’S DESIGN

October 7, 2014

Beach in Carmel, CA

Me at sunset on the beach at Carmel by the Sea – picture taken by TE (above)

Thought I would share these photos taken in Carmel, CA this past weekend.  TE and I drove up north to spend the weekend in what he describes as one of his most favorite places.   We left on Friday right after work and drove over 5 hours.  We arrived in Carmel at 10p and had a nice dinner at Casanova…a lovely Italian restaurant in the heart of town.

I had of course been to Carmel before…being a native Californian and all…but I had not seen the Carmel that TE knew so well (he had actually lived in the area at one point).

TE’s Carmel definitely was all about the outdoors…it included the most amazing 3.5 hour walk on Point Lobos (a California State Park right on the water) – what an incredible nature walk through a cypress forest overlooking the ever grand Pacific Ocean.  We walked on the beach at sunset…and we drank wine on the beach at midnight.  On Saturday afternoon, we stopped at the Mission Ranch Restaurant for a pre-dinner snack and sat on an outdoor patio overlooking a large meadow with sheep grazing in the distance.

We visited photography galleries with Ansel Adams prints, window shopped at night and enjoyed the festive vibe around town.

Here’s a look at some of the places we went in Carmel:

POINT LOBOS

Below are pictures of the absolutely majestic Point Lobos.  A must stop if you are ever traveling through California.  The forest of Monterey cypress and pine trees, the rocky shoreline, the unbelievable vistas…Point Lobos is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.

MISSION RANCH RESTAURANT

Even while having a glass of wine and some evening appetizers, Carmel offered us a glimpse of nature in the form of farm life at Mission Ranch Restaurant.  Here a cute group of sheep relaxed in the glow of the setting sun…with a little black sheep (literally) doing his own thing and still grazing away!

BEACH TIME

A weekend designed to enjoy the natural beauty of the California coastline. I highly recommend!

Happy Tuesday!

P.S.  Best of friend FF and her hubby CCF are in town today (they are here for a black tie event)…TE and I are taking them to Malibu to our favorite spot there to watch the sunset and then to dinner at Nobu.  Will be fun.

P.P.S.  Need a part-time assistant!  Help.  Email resumes to [email protected] and I can send you a job description.  Must be in Los Angeles area.

    Carmel is so quaint . . . it’s one of my favorite places to visit. Love the cottages and can spend hours walking the streets taking it all in.

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.

Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Mart Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Martha's Vineyard house. I rented this house for our two week stay in Martha's Vineyard. A few minutes walk to the center of Edgartown. The house was heaven. We were the first renters to stay in this newly built house.
