Here are a few pics from my phone which we took while on vacation these past few days. We started off in Olympic National Park which was a highlight, then we drove back to Seattle for the race. As some of you know I decided to pull out of the race due to my knee injury flaring up while hiking in the Hoh rainforest up in Washington just prior to the race. It was such a pleasure getting to meet so many of my good friends from Sparkpeople and FB. It was a hard decision not to race but I truly feel it was a smart one.
After Seattle we traveled to a few places around the area and then ventured off to British Columbia. Vancouver I have to say was my favorite city we visited on this trip by far, other than Carmel of course. 🙂 We then flew to San Francisco for a week as my husband was there on business. Once he was finished working we drove down the pacific coast highway to Monterey, Carmel and Pebble Beach. We stayed overnight and drove along the coast down to Big Sur which was truly amazing! Very beautiful.
