It had been a while (for us anyways, as we don't like to wait too long between visits) since our last trip to one of our favorite spots- Monterey. What a gorgeous day on the coast! Blue skies, sun beaming down, a typical nor-cal breeze to cool you down just the right amount. We had a fabulous time at the aquarium, ate lunch with an ocean view, and ended with our usual ice-cream sandwich. But we didn't want the day to end. Peter, always a fan of adventures and the person who never wants them to end, said as we were walking to the car, "No Mommy and Daddy! I don't want to go home! I want to go to the beach!" Well, it didn't take much to talk us in to that! We found a tiny beach downtown and sat down and let the sway of the gentle waves relax us and mesmerize us. Lizzy found so many amazing shells, and even a giant piece of sea glass- her favorite! It was certainly a perfect day at the beach.
A piece of sea glass...her favorite??!!! Have I converted her? She loves sea glass better than sea shells? That would be a huge coup. But, in the meantime, I'm looking forward to seeing her jar filled with treasures and asking if I can pour them out to see them, just like she does with me. :) Lucky kids...I love Monterey!
