The River Creek Inn

Day 2 was even more amazing...so much so that we're repeating some of the same steps on Sunday :)

We started off the day with room service:

Then Mr. Pie got on his blackberry:Hahaha

Afterwards, we set off for Carmel! Along the way, we were able to drive through Pebble Beach (the 17 Mile Drive which is actually a road and also the mileage) for $9.25. It was worth every penny.

I cannot believe people live here! The houses are incredible! We saw a couple of for sale signs but I think we will need to stick with our price range ;)
Here are more pics of us on the way to the actual Pebble Beach Golf Course.
Awww...Mr. Pie drew in the sand :)

Tanning sea otters!

A putting green facing the ocean:

Pebble Beach! Tiger was not there - haha. Mr. Pie was very impressed - it's probably kind of like when I see a new mall. Mr. Pie took care of his trophy for him:

Pebble Beach 18th Hole: Afterwards, we drove through the gate to Carmel! It is the cutest town. We stopped at the Hogs Breath Inn from a recommendation from Jimmissa.

Look how cute the table is!

And then. Tragedy. My camera battery ran out :( Mr. Pie went to the camera store next door and was unable to purchase a new battery. He did, however, pick up two disposable cameras (old school style!). We'll develop those later.

The rest of the day was even more amazing. We drove down PCH and stopped along the way for the most amazing pictures. Don't worry, we're going back on Sunday! The last stop was at the River Inn (which Mr. Pie called River Creek Inn - hahaha, is it a river or a creek? It can be both?) and we got to sit in the river in these chairs and put our feet in. AMAZING. It was worth it!!

For dinner, we stopped at Flaherty's in Carmel. OMG, the food was awesome!! We started off with oysters on the half shell along with a bottle of Scheid Gerwturmeiner and also scallops in a pineapple and ginger sauce. It was delicious. For dinner I got the seafood pasta and Mr. Pie got King Crab legs. Everything was wonderful and to top it off, we had creme brulee (chocolate AND vanilla) and vanilla bean ice cream. The only downfall was that the place was not air conditioned so the server made us a delious iced coffee.

The Pies then headed off to the hotel and took a dip in the pool.

Tomorrow? THE SPA!
