Are you planning a baby boomer spring break? This time last year, Alan and I were preparing for a coastal California sports car road trip that took us from Paso Robles up the coast to Mendocino before ending in California wine country.

Driving California’s Big Sur coast from Cambria to Carmel, baby boomer road trippers won’t find accommodations with a finer view than at Ragged Point Inn.
