Next month my girlfriend and I will be going to a wedding in Monterey. We're flying into San Francisco early Thursday morning to go to Sonoma with a friends who will be in town from Germany. I'm sure we will spend most of the day in Sonoma then back to SF for dinner, and then we're goign to the Academy of Sciences for a "Night Life" event.
Friday we will be renting a car in SF and driving down to Monterey. I was planning on taking the Pacific Coast Highway for scenic value. I wanted to try to do something fun along the way and maybe surprise her a little. I was thinking of stopping somewhere to do a horseback ride on the beach, find a zipline/something exciting, stop somewhere unique/scenic/historic and walk around, or something along those lines. I am unfamiliar with the area and the drive, so do any of you guys have suggestions?
I found a couple of places that offer horseback rides which was the first thing that came to mind, but I am open to suggestions. We have to be in Monterey by around 6pm to meet everyone else in the wedding party, but we can leave SF relatively early that morning to make it in time. We are renting a cool cottage two blocks from the wedding which will be on the beach in Pacific Grove, and although we're busy Saturday and Sunday morning with wedding stuff, we're going to drive back to SF Sunday night and not heading back home until Monday night. So, we could even do something on the drive back from Monterey to SF on Sunday afternoon as well.
Any guidance is much appreciated!
