weekend in monterey

a few weeks back we joined katie & kurt for a very fun quick trip down to monterey. first stop was fisherman's wharf where william continued to hone his walking skills followed by a very tasty dinner in carmel.

william took an immediate liking to the hotel bed which was the only place he'd fall asleep (unfortunate for his parents).

saturday we packed full starting with a visit to the monterey bay aquarium. william was very impressed with the big and colorful fish and we heard lots of 'wow's' from him. he also enjoyed playing in the splash pools with aunt katie.

we even managed to take a rare family photo.

to williams delight he took the trolley (aka 'bus') back to the hotel with ben for nap time while i walked down cannery row and enjoyed some pooltime.

after naps ben and william took a swim, we all enjoyed some bread bowl clam chowder, rode bikes up the coast, and then drove home. a perfect california weekend getaway!
