Down by the bay...



We spent a couple days in beautiful Monterey Bay this past week and all I can say is I can not believe I have lived in Nor Cal for 13 years and have never been there! It is really my new favorite place to go with the kids...and definetely with out the kids.



We did a lot of this:





The kids were in heaven on the beaches and in the tide pools, the boys quickly climbed to the top of very steep jagged rocks much to the dismay of their very over protective mom... and Maya squealed and scampered up the beach with each wave that came in. She was happiest splashing and throwing rocks and sand...that's my girl! We got some great video of her, so maybe I will try to post that soon.


And we explored some very cool places like Big Sur, Carmel, 17 Mile Drive, Pebble Beach and the world famous Monterey Bay Aquarium. We even saw some Humpback Whales on the ocean, but they were to far out to get a good photo of them.



It was a great couple of days. We can't wait to go back!

That looks like so much fun. I've been trying to tell Aaron that if we went to visit you fine CA folks, we could swing a Monterey Aquarium visit in. I'm gonna try harder!

Seems like a wonderful time. I love the pictures of the boys on the beach with their reflection in the wet sand. That's such a neat picture.
