Carmel Visit, November 2025
Traveled to the Madera for Michelle's dad's 90th birthday party, then drove to Carmel for a four night stay. Hiked Big Sur and had a wonderful lunch at the legendary Nepenthe restaurant, enjoyed the sunset while eating dinner at the Hyatt Sunset Lounge in Carmel Highlands; hiked beautiful Point Lobos, ate lunch in Carmel, and window shopped; visited the waterfront and acquarium in Monterey; then drove back to Madera for Thanksgiving with family.
