Day 5 - Road trip

We drove down Highway 1 for about 3 hours. This stretch of road is really stunning. I love looking at the ocean, and the Pacific coast is particularly cool because it's very dramatic: cliffs, trees and a big expanse of sea. Each vista seemed more spectacular than the one before. I recommend this drive if you're in SF and can take a day to do it.

There are some cute roadside stands along the highway. We stopped at Swanton Berry Farm for strawberry cider and blackberry cobbler. The store's cash register drawer is an "honor till" - it's left open for you to pay for what you take. God bless California.

We spent the night at Mission Ranch in Carmel. The property is actually owned by Clint Eastwood. Apparently he ate Thanksgiving dinner there.
