So with Tuesday approaching soon, aka school is back in session, I thought that we should have one more really good Monday Madness before we have shortened Monday Madness’ because of school work … so Destination Monterey it was last Monday Madness!!
Our trip started Sunday afternoon and we decided to take the long way, well, really the short was but the most scenic route I-5. Our friends Kristen, Addison and Sam joined us and of coarse we stopped at the Anderson’s Pea Soup place … I mean how could you not stop there?! It reminds me of the Nut Tree when I was young … not quite the same, but the kind of place you can’t wait to get to because you know that after that landmark .. you are not far.
Once we got to our hotel, we decided to head out to Cannery Row for some Bubba Gumps! Isabel was delighted! That girl LOVES shrimp! I always forget how loud it is in there, but we got a window seat so everyone was happy, happy!
After some Linner (lunch and dinner) we did a little beach combing and Isabel and Mason kept saying … mom, this isn’t like Stinson Beach … ahhhh, so true … but not to worry kiddies we will take you to Capitola Beach tomorrow after the aquarium ….
Kristen and I got to enjoy a little conversation, wine and cheese before bed while we hung out between our two rooms and the kids went back and forth between them and had a blast I might add!
Monday morning up bright and early for some tastey waffles that the hotel had and then to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which was absolutely AWESOME!
And, as promised Capitola Beach …
Kristen even snapped some photos of me and my kids … how neat is that … I seriously don’t have many of me and the kids!
Then some Dinner from Pizza My Heart … which by the way is so fabulous I’m craving it right now!!! It was D-E-Lish!!
