If you haven't read my previous post here, you may want to dig into that one first. If you've already read it, I've updated it with a few more photos from Malcolm's phone. On days 3 - 5, we went whale watching and saw about 30 humpbacks. We kayaked in the bay the next day …
For our honeymoon, we flew to San Francisco and drove down the 1 to Monterey Bay. I've split up these posts because they would be really long and maybe monotonous if I didn't. I'll add days 3 - 5 in a forthcoming post. If you've never been, I highly recommend visiting Monterey and Big Sur. …

A few weekends ago, M and I explored the dazzling Paint Mines Interpretive Park. It was the weekend that got as close to 100 degrees as Colorado Springs has come in a while. It was also hazy due to the fires in Glenwood Springs, but we were determined to visit somewhere we had not yet …
