For my birthday in 2010 I had the opportunity to go to Monterey CA with my best friend. Monterey is located along the coast of the Pacific Ocean in California and is home to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, Fisherman's Wharf, and a Japanese Tea Garden. The coastline south of Monterey hosts lighthouses, sheer cliffs, and the famous Hearst Castle. This gallery highlights some of the photo opportunities that presented themselves on this quick weekend trip.
