On one of our days while we were staying in San Jose with Dan’s parents, we took a drive down to San Juan Bautista and Monterey. I’ve been to Monterey before, but it was nice to visit again as well as to visit the Spanish mission at San Juan Bautista for the first time. There’s so much history behind the mission that it was really fascinating to tour the grounds, and it was extra interesting to me because it was where they filmed some of the most memorable scenes in my favorite Hitchcock films Vertigo!
After spending about an hour at the mission, we continued down south until we arrived at Monterey, where we walked down Cannery Row and checked out the ocean from there.
After exploring Cannery Row, we moved onto walk around Lovers Point Park!
It was a very laid back, memorable day trip where we got to see a lot of sights, both new and familiar! π California has so many beautiful sights to see, and it was so nice to have some time to go visit some of them during our visit!
