Memorial Day Weekend- Carmel

Happy Memorial Day! Despite a little wind, it was a gorgeous Sunday. My parents and I decided to take a little trip down to Carmel, a town less than 2 hours from Mountain View. I had planned two activities for us to do. 
1. Check out the Memorial Day Festival in Davendorf Park. 
2. See Mission San Carlos Borromeo del Rio Carmelo (or Mission Carmel, as I called it). 

After our arrival, we soon came to the conclusion that there was no festival being held anywhere in town. So I decided to take pictures of random sites around town (you will notice quite a few pictures of doors and gates). 

We spent a little bit of time on the mission grounds. The gardens were very pretty. On the way back home we stopped at the Gilroy outlets to have dinner (at Applebees) and do a little bit of shopping (I mostly window shopped :)) 

This door reminded me of reading The Secret Garden

No, my dad and I are not in a middle of a fight. He just chose to sit far away from me and have the "far gaze" expression.
