The summer is over and school has already started. Here are a few photos from our last big hurrah before school started. Michael and I drove a few hours away to Monterey.
We woke up early one day to go check out the tide pools. We crawl up and down rocks trying to fund some cool creatures. Sadly, all we found we some little crabs and some funny looking sea plants.
We stopped by the Pebble Beach golf course. We couldn't see too much of the club since most of it is gated, but we were able to stroll through some of the stores and check out one of he putting green. Michael couldn't resist. He had to "air putt."
The Lone Cypress is the symbol of the Pebble Beach Golf Club. It's a cool sight: a single tree standing on the top of the end of a little pennisula. 
The shore around Monterey is gorgeous. The water is bright blue and you can't see straight to the ocean floor. There are also a lot of big rocks that are fun to climb on. 
The sand on this beach that border another famous golf course (Spanish Oaks, maybe???) was super soft. I love it! It's offically my favorite beach in California. 
Here we are climbing on rocks again, but this time we're exploring underneath the pier. 
What a handsome guy!
Monterey has a great aquarium. We spent a few hours checking out the local wildlife. 
After spening a day and half in Monterey, we started making our way home. Along the drive we stopped at a few places. One of these places was the Santa Cruz boardwalk. It's a fun place, but definately geared more towards kids. We strolled up and down, played a few arcade games, then headed out.
Here's my first day of school picture, sippy cup and all.
