i was lucky to spend my birthday weekend at the beautiful carmel valley ranch in carmel valley, california.  the property was spectacular, and the staff was welcoming and lovely. i sadly didn’t get a shot of our room before our things exploded all over it, so let’s start with the view from our balcony.
