Keep on scrolling to read about all the details of our spontaneous summer getaway to Carmel (and you can also hop over to my Instagram page to watch my first IGTV video aka a fun video diary of our trip to Carmel and Big Sur). But in the mean time, I'm sharing all the things we did DO (including eating one of the best Margherita pizzas of my life). In fact, the list is so long that we're already talking about planning a trip back so we can do all the things we didn't have time to do. Of course, we tend to be last minute trip planners as it is, but this was on a totally different level, one that I can not recommend enough (if you can swing it).Īnd while this may have been a very spontaneous trip, within 48 hours in Carmel we had managed to rack up quite a list of things to do and places to eat. Not having set plans, not having to worry in advance if we'll have enough time for everything, not running around like a crazy person shopping for outfits "to match all my photos", not being aware of spots we had to visit because "everyone on Instagram said we had to", etc. And honestly, it was the most refreshing thing. So, I spent some of the drive north doing a little bit of digging on the great wide web, but outside of that, we left everything up to chance. On top of that, making the decision to come when we did was totally and completely spontaneous. Outside of knowing it was a spot we wanted to visit, we hadn't done a whole lot of research prior to leaving. With stunning homes, a quaint but bustling downtown filled with shops and restaurants, and close proximity to all sorts of gorgeous beaches, hikes, vistas and wildlife, it's the perfect spot for a relaxed weekend escape. 20 years later and I think I finally understand why. But more than likely, my 9 1/2-year-old head was still filled with visions of Disney Land, wondering why on earth my parents had just dragged me up the coast to this "sleepy" little town. I remember very little of my first time in Carmel, CAlifornia.Īnd, to be honest, I have no idea why.
