The drive back home was beautiful. We (Ryan and I) took the coast home with our friends Dadi, Chindy, and Patrick, stopping at a farmer's market and Big Sur along the way. (And yes those are nicknames.)
Seeing giant containers of fruit may be one of the most exciting things to me. I LOVE fruit. I absolutely cannot get enough, it's a little weird. So here I am pressed up against the window of the car like a child freaking out because the road home is lined with farmer's markets, and all of a sudden we pull over to one. I was in heaven.
Another amazing thing about buying locally grown produce is that the prices are way more reasonable, and what you're about to eat is as fresh as it can get. The greens are greener and the fruit is vibrant and juicy. From the ground to your hands is the best way to go.
But the best part of going to side of the road markets are the photo ops- because who does't love being an artichoke or standing by that cowboyish tractor driver?
Even my boyfriend found a new friend.
Big sure was like a dream. It was my first time seeing it in person, and wow.
The one thing you're not supposed to say when you get back from a vacation was "the water was so blue!" because that's pretty much true for most vacation spots and it's all people hear about, but I mean come on. It was so blue! Blue and green and clear and untouched by human hands.
The drive home may have been my favorite part of the trip because we saw so many beautiful views for hours. Driving 8+ hours down the coast to get home was definitely worth it.
