Monterey

We spent three days in Monterey.   We have a niece and her family that recently moved there from Virgina.   We had perfect weather.....on the last day it got cool but did not rain until we were leaving on Sunday morning.  

First day we met the family for dinner down at Cannery Row....first time for us to visit this area and wanted to see everything.  Very difficult.   Michele showed us some of the highlights as we waited for Donnie to get out of school.   He joined us later in the evening and then we all went to dinner at a restaurant near the water.

Point Los Lobos

Fisherman's Wharf

Second day we toured the Fisherman's Wharf area.   First we started at a small pier where the sea lions hang out.....seemed liked there were hundreds.   Their bark is so loud.....no wonder you can hear them over 3 miles away....yes, we could hear them at the Elks lodge.  Saw lots of sea life.....girls were excited.   The pointed out ever starfish, jelly fish, sea lion & bird that they saw.  They are sooooooo cute!   Donnie caught up with us around 3:00 PM and then we went on a drive to Point Los Lobos.....great place to explore the rocks....also we had hoped to see the Monarch Butterfly's but could not find them.   On the way home, we drove thru Carmel.....truly as rich as we've heard.   Did not see Clint Eastwood, who lives here.

Pebble Beach

Third day we went to an car/airplane show.  There we many cars and about 20 old planes.  You could get a ride in a B-51 for $750 for 15 min.  What a bargain!  No, we did not go for a ride.  We then went to see Pebble Beach.....must see for us!   Would love to have played but it cost $495 each and that does not include the cart or caddie.   To rich for my blood!   It was an amazing place to see......even though no famous people were playing, it was exciting to watch those that were....at least for us it was.
