Exploring Anyone?

We have been making the most of our new surroundings. Grandma and Grandpa Rasmussen came up a couple of weeks ago and we set out on an adventure. We decided to go check out Monterrey and Carmel. After renting a van so we could try them out and all fit in one car we set out. The weather was beautiful and company was great. The boys like looking into the ocean at the pier in Monterrey.

They liked it almost as much as riding in the new stroller. Ryan got me the stroller I have been drooling over for a couple of years. I absolutely LOVE it. As you can tell!

Monterrey was different than we expected but pretty cool. After checking out the pier we headed down to the Aquarium. Luke was excited about that as you can see...

The boys like the aquarium almost as much as having Grandma and Grandpa around.

After we saw lots of cool fish and ate lunch we went to 17 mile road around the pebble beach area. It was so beautiful.

I can see why people like to golf here. So can Ryan! (Spanish Links at Pebble Beach)

Noah didn't understand what all the fuss was about: driving, stopping, taking pictures, getting the car, getting out of the car... but as usual he was a good sport.

Luke's favorite spot was where the seals go to sun bathe. there are hundreds of them and you can hear them barking from the rock right off the shore. Ryan taught him the magic of binoculars to see things far away. He hasn't stopped talking about binoculars since.


We are enjoying our surroundings and loving the California "winter" weather!
