Monterey

 Looking down onto Lovers Beach. We affectionately nick-named it Poo Beach after we read up on why there were beach closed bio-hazard warning signs on the shore. Apparently the sewer lines are not flushing out to sea properly at this beach on some days. Eeekkk!!! We drove south quite a ways to get out of the Monterey Bay and onto the shores of the good old Pacific Ocean before we set sail to play in the waves.

 Byron was reading a how to ski book while lounging on the beach. What is wrong with this picture?

 Eating at the best burger and wrap restaurant in Monterey....might be the only burger and wrap restaurant in Monterey. The good news is there was this awesome gas fireplace they turned on for us and we all got to warm up after our chilly morning at the beach. Have you ever seen so many jackets on a beach vacation?

 The birds were fond of the rocks we were climbing over. We even found some nesting sites.

 Timed photo from a rock. I had a hard time getting back up there and Tyler is half covered by Byrons hat. Not the best photo ever but rare to have all of us in it.

Lots of crabs on this trip. The kids became expert crab catchers, they could turn over a rock and catch any size crab that happened to be hiding under it.
