The weekend in Monterey and Carmel was relaxing and Fun - it was a wedding of one of Nancy’s cousins at the Mission in Carmel - the Basilica is an amazing place to get married. We had visited a number of times in the past on visitor tours but this was special - it’s an historical part of the State of California- if you are ever in the area it should be on your bucket list. After the wedding we all went back to the Portola Hotel in Monterey where we were staying and took naps or went for walks - the three shuttle buses showed up at 5:30 and ran back and forth all evening. The Country Club is up in the hills overlooking Carmel and Camel Bay - the route winds through miles of tree lined roads until you finally get to the top and it’s - Amazing - absolutely beautiful and very private. Every part of the facility is first class and no expense was spared. Open bar(s) all night and hors d’oeuvres for the first hour while all of the guest were arriving- the outdoor patio was enormous and the views were 360 degrees of the Carmel Bay and the Golf course. Meals of course were perfect and it was all in all a perfect night. Highly recommended for any special event
