Bonnie and I just came back from our 17-year anniversary trip up the California cost. We stayed at the Kon Tiki Inn in Pismo Beach for two nights and then up to the Monterey Beach Resort in Monterey for 3 nights. We had a wonderful time without the kids.
We decided to visit the wonderful Monterey Bay Aquarium on Tuesday morning. It’s always neat to see all the fish.
We were able on Tuesday night to drive up to Santa Cruz Boardwalk and meet Linda and George along with Steven, Catharine and two of their friends. The boardwalk was celebrating its 100-year-old birthday and all rides were .75 cents. The hot dogs were .75 cents along with the soda. "What a deal" Of course I pigged out and ate 3 dogs and two sodas. Oink.
The weather was quite a bit cooler once we got up the coast. We went from our Monrovia 90+ degree weather to 60-63 degree weather. It was a bit cold for us Southern California warm-blooded types.
My mom flew down from Utah to watch the kids. We are both thankful for all that she’s done for us. Thank you, Mom. The kids just love their Nana.
Bonnie and I found a wonderful road-side stand on the way to Avala Beach. They sell all kinds of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as preserves. The homemade ice cream topped with fresh picked raspberries made it all worthwhile.
