spring break report

I'm admittedly a little sad that spring break is almost over. Although we were all a little busy and didn't go far, that doesn't mean we didn't have a good time.

Big Sur day trip

Dad took us to Big Sur as we hadn't been there in a while. I must say the scenery along the route was spectacular. We even stopped for lunch at a restaurant in Pacific Grove. The view from the patio was amazing while the food wasn't too bad either.

Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park was beautiful and made for an enjoyable hike. One could easily spend the entire day here. I also had fun browsing the gift shop. It's too bad Big Sur is so far away because I would love to come here more often.

We headed further south to Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park to see the famous McWay Falls. Even from a distance, the falls were quite impressive. Although there are fewer trails, this was also an amazing place. On the way home, the sunset and the ocean view made the drive worthwhile.

Pescadero day trip

Another place we visited was Pescadero. It was a small town with a few shops and restaurants. Dad also took us to the nearby Pigeon Point Lighthouse afterwards. Even though there were wasn't much to do here, exploring new places is always an adventure.

I spent my free time studying for Spanish class as we have a test coming up. Sometimes it can be tricky to memorize all those words. Otherwise, the break couldn't have been better.
