Will definitely be staying in the Pebble Beach area and Morro Bay at least 1 night each. Now that I see your photos, it makes me more ready to go than I already am! Cannot wait! So glad you got away and had a fun trip with your hubs!!Joy Junktionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396533426075869292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067086599881836650.post-59242842577677986042014-05-22T13:11:09.951-07:002014-05-22T13:11:09.951-07:00Lovely photos.

I felt like I was right there with you. You two are just so cute together and I am glad you had so much fun.<br /><br />I DO remember The Thornbirds. I read the book, too, before the movie came out. I too loved Richard Chamberlain. He was wonderful as Father Ralph and I loved Rachel Ward, too. I just bought the movie about 3 or 4 months ago on one of those discount tables. I watched it right after I bought it and was smitten all over again. <br />He also was in a movie shortly after that where he was the "evil" caretaker for Lauren Bacall. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067086599881836650.post-82149399991480491002014-05-20T18:44:50.594-07:002014-05-20T18:44:50.594-07:00It looks like a lovely vacation Carol and yes, I r...It looks like a lovely vacation Carol and yes, I remember The Thornbirds!!
