California is one of the most unique places on earth.
That's why my new husband and I thought it would be the perfect way to spend our honeymoon. I know a honeymoon post is kind of a big jump from a being engaged post, but I don't think I can do my wedding post justice without real wedding photos.
Our honeymoon adventure began in a sleepy beach town called Cambria. It was quaint and rustic with a little bit of natural beachside charm. We stayed in a cute little hotel that was on the beach. Aside from the incredible lack of internet, (which irritated my husband more than anything) the small place was a nice relaxing start to our trip.
Our first stop was a beautiful sunset on the beach, steps away from our door. It was a great way to commemorate our first full day of marriage. There was a wooden boardwalk for us to stroll upon while we talked (about our feelings no less :P). Once we found a good bench we proceeded with our quest to be the ultimate tourists and began snapping eternal memories on our smart phones.

We had one mission for our 2nd day in Cambria.
Hearst Castle.
We had spent the whole weekend telling everyone that Hearst Castle was one of the many stops we had planned for the honeymoon. My parents insisted, his parents insisted, so we bit the bullet and purchased the disgustingly overpriced tickets to traverse a 100 year old cattle ranch owned by someone with a very expensive taste in Mediterranean Renaissance art. Despite the high fees, we managed to really enjoy ourselves. I got to admire some remarkable works of art owned by someone who clearly doesn't share my appreciation of frugality, while Austin was busy making plans for our dream home. (Hope he's okay waiting about 30 years.)
On our third and final morning we had our free continental breakfast and kissed our receptionless, internetless, yet scenic stop goodbye, and began the next part of our adventure.
Carmel By-the-Sea.
