Day two of our anniversary vacation began with a sunny wake-up at the San Benito House in Half Moon Bay. We loved staying here for its quirkiness - small, older rooms above a great bar space made for a relaxed feel.
We grabbed a cup of coffee and walked around the back garden area this morning, watching hummingbirds flit around to the plentiful flowers.
We got on the road after enjoying my favorite, lox and bagels, at another quirky place: a downtown coffee shop that was the only place open at 9 am on a Monday in Half Moon.
Then, we took four hours to drive to Davenport, stopping at pretty much every beach and overlook to enjoy the views of eroding cliffs and crashing waves. Clif knows I love to randomly stop at state parks (especially in California) and made a point of doing so, I think because he loves me or something. So below you get photos of a few parks where we stopped, but nowhere near all of the ones we visited.
We are driving into Santa Cruz tonight for dinner, and the off to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Big Sur tomorrow. We may just stay here forever. Yup.

| The back patio of the San Benito House would be a great event spot. |

| One portion of a GIANT mural while walking around town. Remarkable. |

| One foot to my right was a sheer drop-off. That's love. |

| My favorite beach along the way. We saw two Oyster Catchers (birds), which was new for me! |
