Trip Up to Monterey


As a family Christmas present Megan and I got for ourselves a trip to Monterey, CA including a day at the famous aquarium. We traveled up Highway 1 through Big Sur. Some of the rest of the crew tagged along part of the way up the coast. Here we are about 1300 feet above the Pacific Ocean at one of the many look outs.


This is again along Big Sur at the look out near Bixby Bridge. No people in the pics since all the kids were napping in preparation for the park below.


Probably one of the best parks we have ever been to is in Monterey. Dennis the Menace park has about 10 full playground structures including a huge red rolly slide which was made up of several hundreded rolling pin-like pieces. Megan and I really got some good speed going down that slide.



Here we are in Monterey at the El Torito (which is Spanish for The Torito!). Our table was right over the water. The food was pretty good, but the view of the otters playing the the water below made up for that.
