Yesterday (10/15) Meg asked us to do something on our to-do list that didn't involve them. She and the girls had a full agenda, which included prepping for Arnie's birthday.
So we decided that we would do a little sightseeing along the "Central Coast", as they call this beautiful part of California. Just south of us is Monterey, Pacific Grove, the "17 Mile Drive" (more like 40 miles if you get lost following the Detour signs),
Pebble Beach (famous for Golf and rocks),
Carmel, 
and Big Sur. 
What a Line Up!
Armed with maps and camera we headed out on a genuine "top down" day. Although we don't have a convertible, for most of the drive we had the windows down and the sunroof open. Mom navigated us through all of these famous areas. In addition to the visual adventure we had of the rugged Pacific Ocean coast, wind bent Cyprus trees and towering Redwood forests--including one deer sighting--we had an olfactory adventure, with the aromas of lowtide surf, eucalyptus, pine and redwood trees filling our car.
We had lunch in the Gallery Restaurant in the Pebble Beach golf complex.
Very Ono! It was a great day for the Auswanderers.

What a fun day trip! I'm sure some of the scents brought back some memories. Thanks for sharing the photos.
I love the first picture, reminds me of one of my favorite movies Goonies
Sounds like a great outing for the Auswanderers. Lunch at a golf complex sounds yummy.
