Every year between Christmas and New Year's Eve, Chris and I take a trip up to Carmel. It is a trip that we both look forward to every year because the drive is so beautiful and we spend the time reminiscing about the year past and what we hope for the future. This year, the fruits of a past discussion accompanied us and the trip was no less wonderful.
Ashley was a pretty good sport about being stuck in a car seat for so many hours. She slept most of the way and only awoke when we pulled into the Bernardus Lodge in Carmel Valley. Chris and I had our usual dinner at Wickets Bistro as Ashley snoozed in her seat next to us. In the morning, Ashley enjoyed the comfy bed before heading into Carmel for the day. (This picture cracks me up!!)
After our usual lunch at Tommy's Wok (I have dreams about the Mu Shu Chicken!), we bundled her up in the Bjorn and cruised around the town. It was pretty cold! (For you readers back East, that means in the 40's!)
Of course, there had to be a little child abuse before getting back into the car!
Some of our best pictures together have been in Carmel, so naturally we had to take some with Ashley along the beautiful coastline.
The trip was just as fabulous as always. This little cutie pie has just fit right into our lives seamlessly. I can't imagine being without her.
