Our First Day Trip

Monterey Bay, CA

For our first California day trip we loaded ourselves up and headed down to Monterey.

The scenery was something right out of a movie, and the weather was perfect.

We had a nice stroll by the water on a sandy path and some of us saw the Pacific Ocean up close for the first time.

We saw sea lions sunning themselves on the beach and then we made our way to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

It is amazing, and huge, and amazing.  There is so much to see, inside and outside areas, and people to help on every corner.  The exhibits are beautifully done and have millions of little areas for the kids.

Then we took the scenic walk back to the car, packed up some new memories, and headed home.

The boys (and I) absolutely loved having the day with Daddy and exploring the beautiful town of Monterey.

We went to Monterey for three summers when I was a kid - we actually drove(!!) there for my Dad's work. It was so dreamy! I've always wanted to go back! Cannery Row was my favorite part. So awesome!
