Dustin has had his eye on staying at the Post Ranch Inn for years. For me it was always a dream, a very expensive/there's no way we can afford this anytime soon dream. Waaaaaaaaay too out of our price range!!
When Dustin suggested we use some of his inheritance and spend a long weekend at the Post Ranch Inn, I thought "no way"- too rich for my blood! But I warmed up to the idea after a few weeks of arm twisting and major guilt trips. It's was something luxurious and extravagant- something Fred would have wanted us to do. So we booked for the weekend of our 7-year anniversary- perfect!
On the way to Big Sur, we took the scenic route through Malibu and stopped in Santa Barbara for the night. It was such a beautiful drive. Once we arrived at the Post Ranch Inn we dropped off the keys for the Prius and picked our Lexus, a convertible. That's right- free Lexus to use while staying at the hotel! I told you, this place was... NICE! We stayed in the Coast House- amazing view and right on the cliff overlooking the ocean. Breathtaking!! The entire property- breathtaking. There really are no words for our beautiful everything was. We did a lot of relaxing, got massages, and enjoyed several very, very nice meals.
We were also brave and tried the hot springs... a midnight dip at Esalen Institute. It was... memorable. :)
