Road Trip II: Monterey

So blogging about this trip will never happen if I try to take the time to do elaborate posts and picture captions ... I am already a few months late. So, quick descriptions and a bunch of pictures and that's that.

We spent our first day in Monterey. In the morning, we walked around Monterey from the Wharf down through Cannery Row to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. After spending the rest of the morning in the aquarium and grabbing some lunch, we headed to the 17-Mile Drive to see the beautiful Monterey coastline and visit Pebble Beach. (I am editing this post to note that Todd insisted on changing into slacks when we got to Pebble Beach. Even though he wasn't golfing, he didn't want to APPEAR to be a non-golfer.) That night, on our way to a hotel near San Francisco, we ate at this adorable little German restaurant in this tiny little town in the Santa Cruz mountains. Todd didn't think the food was as authentic as he wished, but it was an idyllic little place in these huge trees and it was still pretty fun.

Oh, home! My favorite part of the country! Isn't it great there? Looks like you guys had fun. Hope you sniffed some garlic on your way through Gilroy! My high school is just about a mile from the wharf!

Did joseph hit a bad shot? Just curious why else he would be in the bushes at pebble beach. Is it even allowed to hit a bad shot there?

Great pictures. I can't believe how much the kids have changed--Joseph looks slimmer now (maybe its just losing the diaper) and Audrey is such a big curly-headed girl now! Thanks for sharing.

If you ever feel the need an alternate profession, child phtography seems a perfect fit! Just be sure you take those precious little models with you wherever you go!
