It's hard to describe how much we love Howard & Cheng's little piece of heaven. This was the third year that we stayed there. Originally we thought we'd spend our vacations in various places along the coast, but their location is perfect, and it's so comfortable and cozy, that we just want to come back to this little home. Every morning we walked down the driveway to say hello to whales that always stop for breakfast, and every evening we watched the beautiful sunsets and said goodnight to the whales (we were excited to see some mothers with their babies too). The pier is very close and walking out there and along the shore is wonderful. This year we decided to take a whale watching tour in San Francisco. Although it was fun going under the Golden Gate Bridge and watching whales, seals, and dolphins, we had to laugh when we got back to Pacifica. We already had the perfect spot for whale watching, and they were much closer than anything we saw out in the ocean! We can hardly wait to go back again next year.
