    Enjoy the videos you make and all the facts you share about the place you are at. You name coffee shops, restaurants, stores, and places to park. Most of all watching Joey on the beach, he is so cute. Thanks for sharing.

    I absolutely loved the sunset at the beginning. I believe I could take a chair and just sit in front of the ocean all day. I am so glad I found your channel. I have followed you and Joey for such a long time, and you have never let us down. So looking forward to the next one. Be safe and enjoy your day.

    I am doing van life and I ended up spending the entire summer in Pacific Grove and Monterey. It’s one of the most beautiful places in America. I love how the deer roam free amongst the people there. They are everywhere!

    That part of the CA coast is so beautiful...that doesn't seem like a big enough word. I really hope you get to Santa Cruz and the Redwood Forest. Joey does seem to enjoy the beach and the ocean (who doesn't?) Not a Twilight reader myself, but, I had the same reaction as you about the quiet neighbors.

    the cemetery ( quiet ) 😉 and the walks on the rocks and the beach are beautiful ~ Luv how Mr Joey gets to enjoy it as well & amazed how fearless he is ‼️ He is simply The Best Pup 🐶 ever

    Such a beautiful place to enjoy! I've never seen shells cover the ground like that at the beach. Guess you would know if someone was headed your way pretty quickly. Sweet Joey looked so happy at the beach. There was sand in the desert and sand at the beach for him to enjoy the soft earth on his walks. Also I've never seen a deer by the beach either. Thanks for sharing this beautiful stay!

    Hey Chantelle 😊not only was I born in Monterey years ago when there was a military base called Ft. Ord, but I love the vampire series. Anne Rice being my fav author and The Body Thief being the best funniest vampire book ever. But I’m also a fan of True Blood 🩸 😅 a great vampire series. But moving on 😉 I’m glad you’re in this part of the country going up the coast. It’s my favorite drive in the USA I usually start way down in San Diego and go all the way up. It never disappoints. The ocean 🌊 all the way. Lovin it!!! Have fun 🤩

    So true story, my husband and I just finished binging Vampire Diaries and all of the spinoff. How did I not know about that show? So fun!!!!
    I always think about George Steinbeck and Cannery Row whenever I hear Monterrey Bay.
    Loved the photography. Must be weird sleeping next to a cemetery while thinking about Vampire Diaries.

    Now you are getting into areas I know! The Monterey Bay Aquarium is excellent, but sadly, no dogs. If you have binoculars (or can afford a whale-watching boat ride!), you can often see sea otters and occasionally whales in the bay by the Aquarium. Carmel is pretty to drive through with Very Expensive houses, but I can’t imagine you’d find overnight parking there. Tidepooling at Asilomar is good, and many other areas going up the coast. Be very careful anywhere there is surf-the riptides are deadly. You will like Mendocino!

    I love the Monterey area. OMG, the houses there are all in the millions. My cousin lives further north in Santa Cruz. That's a fun town if you're able to make it up there. On highway 1, you should stop off in Castroville. It's the artichoke capital of the world. Look up Pezzini Farms (it's actually just before you get to Castroville, it's like the last exit before you get to Castroville), they have a great store there with beautiful produce, and a food truck that has THE best fried artichoke hearts. YUMMMMY !!!!

    Spent 4 days in Monterey during pandemic. Stayed at elms, have to be a member. They have a pool,bar,restaurant. All were closed, but still was awesome. Need to go back, the aquarium is the most wonderful place to go through, it was closed too. The beach pull over are incredible.
