Last week we took a spring break vacation to Monterey CA. This was not the first time we have been up there but it was the first time we were all together as a family. We rented a really cool house for the week that was a little cozy but everyone fit just fine. The weather was not the best, but it was not that bad either. We were expecting it to rain really hard but, luckily it did not. Unfortunately with it being so overcast it was not great for photography.
Still got some really great shots
We started out going to the beach in Spanish Bay and walking along the beach. We saw a jelly fish on the shore and part of the 17 mile drive. We then headed over to Denis the Menace park for some lunch and then to Fisherman’s Warf.
The next day was at Point Lobos State Park which had some awesome views and some great hiking. We spent the morning walking along the cliffs and tide pooling. Saw some whale, but unfortunately did not get any photos.
Spent a day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which is incredible (packed with people but still great).
Finally we took the 17 mile drive and headed down the 1 for lunch on our last day. From there we headed to Half Moon Bay and surprisingly met up with the other half of the family who had headed out earlier. Jenn and her sister have similar thought processes.
We spent the last day of our vacation meandering down the California coast from Cambria to Temecula hitting Solvang and Santa Ynez in the process.
