Because travel is better with two - By writer/editor/photographer Melanie Wynne
We just returned from a short but restful weekend away with Adam’s mom and stepdad, our beloved dog Toby in tow.
We made our home at the very dog-friendly Cambria Shores Inn on Moonstone Beach in Cambria, California, perched beside a meandering boardwalk and the roiling Pacific. We got great suggestions for outdoor dining, ran pell-mell on a wide swath of blustery beach, and reconnected with our itinerant loved ones.
Added bonus to this weekend? No need for yet another dog sitter.

San Simeon itself, four 1/2 hours north of LA and just a bit north of Cambria along Highway 1, is famous for two things:
The wealthy excess of a powerful man — and the love of seals.
