wander // our West Coast road trip Part 2: Monterrey through Orange County

The second big chunk of our road trip started in Monterry, CA and ended in Orange County. The majority of these photos were taken off of Pacific Highway 101. The drive is an easy 6.5 hours in one day, which is what we did, but I am sure would have been pretty nice to break up in two days with more stops.

Again, the scenery was unbelievable and I can’t believe people get to live here for real!

Fun fact, as we got closer to Orange County, turns out winter is the breeding season for these massive elephant seals, and we got to see literally thousands of the creatures just chillin on the shores for miles.

As we got to Orange County, I actually got massively sick. I guess that’s what happens when you try to drive from Washington to Southern California in 4 days :(

So unfortunately I lacked in picture taking in Southern California, but I have a decent chunk of iphone/ instagrams from that point until New Mexico that I will share soon!
