So we took our first real family vacation. We stayed in a cabin called the Tradewinds. We were about a block from the beach, and the weather was great. We arrived Monday, I took the kids to the beach with Pops while Nicky and Meme went to Safeway to fill the kitchen. Tuesday we went to Point Lobos, which is an amazing state park just outside Carmel. The nature pics you're going to see are from there. In the evening we swam at the pool which was nice and warm. On Weds, we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium with Taylor, and she LOVED IT! We looked everywhere to find a Nemo and a Dory fish. Thursday, Nicky and I took the kids to the beach again. It was very windy but the kids still had fun. Thursday night, Nicky and I had a great dinner at El Torrito and then an AMAZING sundae at the Ghiardelli (sp?) place.
Mostly this will be a picture dump but a couple updates on the kids. Taylor is still getting up at 5am, and she loves to go swimming. She's started jumping off the side of the pool into the water and she's not shy about getting her face wet. She likes to stay up late now, and we've finally moved her bedtime back to 8. Her favorite way to answer is "Sure!"... which is very cute. Aj responds with "ah" which is just yeah without the y in front. He's started to learn to do timeouts, and it's hard to send him to one cause he's so cute to watch.
