Monterey Bay to the Coast

we explored Monterey Bay the next day and walked down Cannery Row.

 we left Monterey and started driving along the coast. we got out and explored this stunning area with these yellow wildflowers everywhere.

we continued driving and stopped and watched the elephant seals at Point Reyes in San Simeon. they were so cute and I loved watching them flip sand onto their backs to keep cool.

we had planned on camping in Big Sur for the night but every campsite we tried was full. I was really disappointed because I had really been looking forward to camping there. we should have known though because we were there in July in peak season. we would have reserved a spot but it fills up months in advance and if you don't reserve it's first come first serve. I want to plan a time that we can reserve a spot because some of the campsites look incredible.
