Monterey

A few weeks ago Jesse suggested that we should go to the beach again since we hadn't been all summer. I booked a hotel in Monterey and a few days ago we headed over. We stopped at Phil's Fish Market where Jesse and Atreyu feasted on seafood while Cambria and I ate some grilled cheese and chicken. I wish that I liked seafood (and a lot of other foods) more. I think it's just my own pickiness and I don't allow myself to enjoy or, a lot of the time, even try new foods. I know Jesse gets frustrated sometimes but I'm glad that Atreyu loves trying new things with him.

We then had a good time sitting on the beach, chasing the waves, and building sand castles. The ocean is so peaceful and I'm thankful Jesse suggested we go. Unfortunately, I got a cold and wasn't feeling the greatest but I enjoyed being at the ocean with my family.

The next day we explored some beaches and tide pools around Monterey. It ended up being a warmer day than we had expected which we were thankful for. We thought we were going to have to wear our jackets all day. Jesse and the kids even swam in the water for a bit. Jesse is so good to the kids. There was no way I was going to get in the cold water but he took them in and they all had so much fun. I'm thankful for him and that we get to raise our kids together.
