We moved on from Napa Valley and started heading down the coast to our favorite fairytale village (and where we were married 6 years ago), Carmel-by-the-sea. Here’s a reminder of that;

First, we made a little stop in San Jose to see the Winchester house because Olivia wanted to see what a haunted house looks like. She wasn’t that impressed.

From there we finished the drive to Carmel. We are trying to be extra safe, and since we couldn’t find a place that had outdoor seating and lots of social distancing, we decided to hang out in our cute little hotel by the river. And, Olivia kept us entertained while I did some work.
