We started our trip at Point Lobos, for some hiking & a picnic. That place is gorgeous. It was a challenge to try it with a baby, though. Not a stroller friendly spot. I neglected to remember that about the trails... Being carried, Gillian just wanted to get down & play, in the pine needles, dirt, poison oak, etc.The next day we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. She loved that & so did we. We didn't get any good pictures there, though.
The next day we went to Earthbound Farms in Carmel Valley. That was a little bit of a bust. Apparently, you can't look around too much, except on Saturdays, during scheduled events. The farm stand was nice. We bought some fruit. And, a farmer gifted Gillian with the lovely little pumpkin.
On our way home, we went to Wild Things Park, outside of Salinas. They train & care for wild animal celebrities. The lion in George of the Jungle, the leopard in Mighty Joe Young, black bears with a long list of appearances in TV & film, retired circus elephants.
And, now we are happy to be home!
Looks like you guys had so much fun! Thanks for the pics... Gillian gets cuter everyday!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys had a lot of fun! And Stef is right - Gillian is so cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments on my baby food post. :-) I have occasional neurotic episodes about whether or not Jenna's diet is "normal." I think she's doing fine. And for the record - she's currently doing the same thing (less food, more bottle/nursing). I think it's teething; she wants extra comfort or something.
Also PS - we LOVED the chard. :-)
Ahhh, Auntie Leah loves that first picture! :)
