We just got back from a week in Monterey, Ca. Monterey is PERFECT for a family with young kids - we beached, hiked, flew kits, went to the aquarium, swam in the pool at the hotel, and just repeated these activities until our week was up. It is relaxing, and if you have any love for the ocean, you can't beat it.
One of my favorite days of the trip was the day we visited Point Lobos State Reserve. I have driven by there so many times on my way to Big Sur, and never ventuired in... it was so interesting! We took a walk to observe a bird island, then walked down a huge step of stairs to the most pristine beautiful beach I have been on in ages. Best part? Only 4 other people came by in the hour plus we spent there. Here are some pictures of that day.
We also spent a little time one morening visiting the sea lions at the Coast Guard Pier (a stones throw from where Mark and I both certified in SCUBA). Here are some pictures from that!
I'm going to save the other pictures until later so I can scrap them... but I have to share this one of Ci in the outfit Cathy made her...she looks so cute!
