Belle is back home in Houston looking for a job after finishing her internship in Hawaii, so we decided to make our annual trip to Carmel-by-the-Sea this year. I've been missing Hawaii, but this trip definitely helped fill that void. Belle met us there for her 23rd birthday.
I have one rule for our annual trip: no one is allowed to join us-not even family. I think three women together is plenty. :)

One of my requests is to have dinner by the ocean. We got to enjoy a beautiful sunset while having dinner with this incredible view.

My second request was to get out and do some hiking-but the girls said these weren't really hikes...they were more like trails. Point Lobos.
17 mile drive
My last request was to visit a baseball stadium. I've been doing this since I was in college, and it's become one of my favorite traditions whenever we travel.

Girls actually getting along.
I have to say, this one is definitely my favorite so far! Kayakers, paddleboarders and boaters gather around the right field side in the ocean waiting to catch the "splash hit" homeruns. We got to see a few. We stayed all 11 innings. It was a blast even though it wasn't our team playing.
