So, I ended up taking the weekend off from blogging....so i have attatched my favorite pictures of the weekend! Ahh...it was such a nice weekend! We got off to a late start on Friday, but made it to Carmel Valley around 7pm and grabbed some burritos in the Carmel Valley Village where our good friends Cindy and Ted live. Came home and had a few glasses of wine. (pic 1)
We all slept late on saturday and woke up to yummy eggs and bacon. Now, you have to understand that while eggs and bacon may SOUND ordinary...NOT in the Walter house! Teddy is a "Top Chef" (hint hint Cindy....) and everything he makes is amazing! The boys took a walk down to the river while us girls (me, cindy and daughter-in-law Brenda) stayed behind sipping coffee and chit-chatting.
We finally got going and headed into Monterey. First stop: Aquarium! You can visit and visit and visit and it will never get boring! They are always updating and adding new exibits. Peyton had a great time and we had some great family time! We let peyton pick out a new toy to get on this trip. So "Mr. Flamingy" was adopted...(pic 2)
Our next stop was the Wharf for lunch! We walked up and down the Wharf before deciding on Corn dogs and popcorn shrimp! Pic 3 is from the harbor at the Wharf, normally the sea lions lay out by the big rocks in the deeper water, but this particular day there were TONS of them on the shore!
We decided to head back to the village bc i started not to feel well, we had family siesta time. Which apparently was much needed bc we fell asleep and slept until 6pm. We went out to dinner with Cindy then stopped at a convenient store for marshmellow, chocolate and graham crackers. When we got home, we got a nice little fire started in their fire pit. Of course IIIIIII was the one that burned myself like a dumb ass on the metel skewer. We put peyton to bed (pic 4) and Sean and I enjoyed some wine by the fire.
Sunday we all got up to make our 11am brunch reservations at Deetjens in Big Sur and the plan was to have the boys float down the river and the girls stayed at the bottom drinking Mojitos...however, when we got to the restaurant and got out of the car it was 55 degrees out and foggy...So we ate and headed back to Carmel Valley. SIDENOTE: Driving on 1 south quite possibly could have been the most terrifying drive i've ever driven...AWESOME View (from what i saw on the pictures later bc i refused to take my eyes off the road) but terrifying!!!
Pic 5 is my two favorite boys playing by the river in Carmel. We decided to have the same events...just closer to home! So Brenda Peyton and I went across the river to pick Mint for Mojitos then Sean and Ted joined us to float down a ways...nice relaxing 30min float.
Got up this morning and went to visit Cindy's horses Sugar and Oscar! Peyton rode Sugar bareback and LOVED it (pic 6) then headed home! We thought we'd be slick and bypass 198/33 and avoid windey rodes...and we ended up adding 45min to the trip bc we got caught in traffic on 46/41...but it's nice to be home. Starting to get estimates on installing our back yard...Sean gets to be home all week and leave saturday instead of leaving tomorrow!
