Mark & Dara

An update from wedding headquarters here! Mark and Dara have decided on the camping site: Dara's Grandma's house in Carmel Valley. See directions below. Although Mark and Dara have not finalized the site for the ceremony or reception, they do know it will be within 5 miles of Grandma's house here in Carmel Valley. They'll finalize their ceremony and reception locations today, so check here for an update tonight. Let the bliss continue! There will be no snuffing out this blazing love! Thank you for all your empathy, flexibility, and offers of support.

Coming from San Jose, San Francisco, and Oakland
1) Take 101 South all the way to Salinas.
2) Take the 2nd Monterey Peninsula exit. This is actually the 2nd exit with this name on Highway 101-it is one of the last Salinas exit; Do not exit at Highway 156!!
At the bottom of the exit, turn right on to Sanborn Road.
Sanborn Road becomes E. Blanco Road. This is about 2 miles
3) Turn left onto Highway 68/S. Main Street (at the Shell station).
4) Go about 9 miles and turn left onto Laureles Grade. This is a stop light.
Go about 5 until the road ends at W. Carmel Valley Road.
5) Turn left on to Carmel Valley Road. Go about .8 miles (at mile marker 10.4).
6) Turn right (into driveway) after the flashing 25 mph sign. Look for the “Mark and Dara” sign at the entrance to the driveway. It is the long drive way lined with pine trees on both sides. The numbers “274” are on either side of the driveway. Look for parking signs
