Monterey Vacation

Over Easter weekend we went to Monterey for a little family R&R. We stayed at Asilomar, which was lovely. It was so much fun. We did all sorts of things, but I think my favorite parts were watching the sunset over the pacific and seeing sea lions in the wild! It was amazing!!! They were just hanging around on the rocks in the bay. Quite a cool sight.

We also went to the Monterey aquarium. It was neat - there were lots of things for he kids to interact with, which they both loved. We all decided that our favorite part of the aquarium was the Jelly Fish exhibit. It was beautiful.

On Sunday we went to the MY (Monterey Youth) museum and let the kids play. It was so much fun. There were costumes to dress up in and a grocery store and a pizzeria, and all sorts of things that the kids could make believe with.

We had super one night at Bubba Gump's and it was so very very yummy! We all ate lots of yummy sea food on our trip!!!

Monday we went to Carmel by the Sea and walked around and looked at all the shops. This was my choice of activity - the kids were good about letting me have my thing since everything else we did was for them. We ate that day at a little pizzeria called Allegro's where the kids got to make their own pizza. They thought that was the best. And Jack commented on the fact that the family next to us was not making their own pizza, by saying "that is sad for them." I think he was right, b/c it was really fun!

We also went to this really cool playground/park called Dennis the Menace Park. We did that on Tuesday, the last day, before we drove home.

On the way home we stopped at this place called Casa de Frut. If any of you have ever driven south on I95 on the North Carolina/South Carolina border, then you know of South of the Border. This place was similar to that, but smaller and much cleaner and nicer! It was hysterical. Everything was Casa de "something". We laughed. It was a wonderful vacation and we are headed back there again sometime!
