This last week Danny started a new job in San Francisco. The first week was exciting but exhausting too, so we were surprised and thrilled when my Uncle Scott and family invited us down to their vacation house in Monterrey for the weekend. It was the perfect place to relax and regroup after a crazy first week.
We drove down Saturday morning, picked up Grandma and Katy at the house and hit the pier for lunch. The girls loved checking out all the sea lions.
Sticklers for tradition we had to have cotton candy as we walked back along the pier.
That afternoon we spent at Asilomar beach. I forget how cold it can be on the coast in the summer! It was freezing. That didn't stop all the little girls from wanting to play in the water though. Danny boogie boarded in his wet suit and I huddled with jackets and beach towels for warmth.
Our favorite part of Monterrey is climbing on the rocks and looking for cool shells, sea creatures and sea glass. My little girls found star fish and crabs and we even saw some sea otters and seals close by.
That evening Uncle Scott started a cook fire on the beach and roasted shrimp and kebabs. Lucy decided she liked shrimp so thanks Scott!
The next morning we stuffed ourselves with pastries at a perfect bakery and then went on a walk along the coast. We did some exploring and then decided to head for home. Just taking one day to get away made all the difference-we had a fabulous time:)
