Carmel

We had such a wonderful time in Carmel!! We stayed with our dear friends from San Fransisco, thanks Patrick and Cyd!!! We came crashing in with our three children into their beautiful home that had ocean views and only blocks from Ocean Avenue.

We decided to take off and go on a whale watching excursion, in the freezing cold, so Brian and I actually had to buy one of those awful tourists fleeces in order to be able to bear the cold. The tour guide said it was an epic day, and they had never seen that many whales and dolphins on a trip. There was also a large sign stating that if you were pregnant you were not allowed on the boat, so I zipped up my tourist fleece and went anyways.

The wind was so strong that we were all worn out by the time we returned to land again. The boys were definitely showing it!

We had a beautiful sunset walk on the beach with Cyd, Patrick, and their adorable dog Louie.Forrest is too cool to play in the water with the kids...oh well! I guess he's just growing up :-(

On our way home we stopped at this fantastic restaurant that overlooked the ocean for breakfast. What a great fast trip!!!
