to the coast and the sun ...


while we did have what felt like endless days of blue skies when we first arrived (in summer!), winter it seems to be endless days of Fog ... so we decided to head out to the coast (Monterey Bay), for the weekend ... the glass elevators where we stayed were fun!
Bethany's absolute delight in winning a toy from the crane machine in the lobby ...
this was a great place to visit - especially if you want to spot expensive camera lenses :-) ... the butterflies were pretty too ... and luckily there was a blossoming tree in the sun that was enticing a flutter of butterflies down so we could see them (the rest were hiding up high in the eucalyptus trees) ...
next we spent a few hours at the Denise the Menace Park - a huge playground that we could have stayed all day at if we didn't want to squeeze in more swimming (and eating) ...
after the busy day what nicer than a dvd before bed?
