Chris;
Have a great time. Suggest: Visit Carmel (near Monterey) and browse the
photo galleries and watch the Rolls and Ferraris go by! For taking
photographs, try the Carmel Mission anytime, and/or Big Sur state beach
at sunset. Course, just driving Hiway 1 in the Big Sur area will unfold
a world of photos. Definitely visit Pt Lobos if you can.
When you get to Santa Cruz, give a call if you want. 440-0823. And
don't forget to take a walk on the Santa Cruz wharf, next to the Roller
Coaster etc on the Boardwalk. While you're on the wharf, visit the
Whitney Gallery! to see some of the best photo artwork around ! :>)
Altho, with a 2 1/2 week old girl, the hours are a bit spotty!
