We get 2 weeks off for Spring Break here, so we kicked it off right away with a little trip not too far and went through a small Redwood Forest then onto Monterey Bay!
The Redwoods really were spectacular!
We arrived in Monetery Bay right before Sunset. We stopped at Chipotle and Trader Joe's (our favorites) and got dinner and dessert to eat on the beach at Sunset. It was pretty epic!
The next morning after a glorious sleep in our motel, we headed towards the main area of town and I was totally winging it. As hard as it sounds, it really is the best way to vacation, just let the good things unfold. IT ALWAYS WORKS OUT! I found a garage to park in and before we got out I felt really prompted to look up whale watching. With little hesitation, (other than the money there was no hesitation), I signed us up! We walked toward the water and as we got close we came to a bike rental shop. Riding bikes along the coast was at the top of my list of things I wanted to do...we even brought Baylor and Brynnly's bikes to offset rental costs. We went back to the van and got their bikes, then rented me and the girls each one and we were off!
Cutest coolest bike gang you ever saw!
In the most beautiful place we have ever ridden!!
Of course Guchi Bear came along. You and Lauren even started an Instagram account for him.
Cutie girl!!! You took a selfie with some sea lions in the background.
We boarded the Whale Watching boat and headed out to sea!
It was such a new experience! We saw a pod of whales and could see their tails and head pop up a few times. It was very exciting. The ride back was COLD and rough. I got a little nauseous but just held tight to you and we made it!
I threw caution to the checkbook one more time and opted for a super fancy dinner at this shore side restaurant. Lauren ran down to the beach to take our picture. We're too much!
The dinner was delicious!!
I don't know who was more freaked out about the pelican....Baylor or Guchibear!?!
We started our last day at the Dennis The Menace Park
We had a lot of fun all running and playing. It is a super cool park.
What a wonderful CALIFORNIA Spring Break!
