Trip to Monterey

This is way belated, but I've finally uploaded photos from my iPhone to the laptop. Back over Memorial Day weekend, we headed down to Monterey to check out the Monterey Bay Aquarium as guests of the O'Bryan family (they have an annual membership). For some reason, we thought traffic wouldn't be so bad since we were driving down on Sunday instead of Saturday, but we were sorely mistaken. After the long drive down, we met Greg, Hilary, Bridget, Ollie, and Ben at the aquarium and quickly set off to find some amusements for the kids.

 We got to see some cool fish (I especially enjoyed the big tuna), sharks, jellyfish, etc, but the boys weren't too impressed at their young age. After a while, they got tired so we basically just walked laps with them to try to get them to fall asleep. After a short nap break, we checked into our hotel and the O'Bryans met us there for the hotel happy hour and dinner from In-n-Out. The babies may have tried animal style fries for the first time...

The next day, we went on a drive down Highway 1 for the boys' morning nap, and I was reunited with my first California love: Bixby Bridge. 

Then we went on a hike at Point Lobos State Reserve, the park where Mitch proposed to me. We spent some time trying to find the exact spot, but we ended up a little unsure about where that was. :P We had a fun time though, and got to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Monterey Peninsula one last time.
