We enjoyed time at Carmel in the first week of August. We used AirBnB to find a nice place to stay at Carmel-by-the-sea. We left bay area around noon and on a Tuesday we could reach Monterey in 2 hours. Which gave us enough time to see the aquarium the closes around 6:00 PM (check the Monterey bay aquarium site for exact details). Monterey has a vegan Mexican restaurant that offered us many choices and we enjoyed it.
We went to Big Sur the next day - honestly, we did not enjoy very much. The place was not as spectacular as Yosemite and the hike to Pfeiffer Falls was difficult (there were too many bugs in the trail, the trail is quite steep). But the real disappoint was the falls at the end of the journey (it is a real small fall esp in August).
We spent the next day in Carmel beach, the weather was foggy, but the kids enjoyed it any way. Carmel has wonderful shops and you can spend a lot of time going through all the boutique stores there.
