Birthday in Monterey

Because of Covid, we haven't gone many places in the last year. Jesse spoiled me and took us all to Monterey for my birthday for a couple days. We made our traditional stop at Phil's Fish Market on the way.

We got donuts from Red's Donuts the next morning and spent the day at the beach. The water is always too cold for me, but Jesse, Atreyu, and Cambria all enjoyed their time in the water. The kids even explored some tide pools and gathered a bunch of hermit crabs. Cosette and I played with sand toys and we all were entertained by the seagulls and ground squirrel that came over for some snacks.

The next day we went over to Fisherman's Wharf. It was a fun place with lots of shops and overpriced restaurants.

We finished the trip eating lunch by the ocean. As much as I always want to go back to Idaho, I will miss having the ocean just a couple hours away.

The day after we got home, my friend, Ashley, brought me this amazing peanut butter cake. I had a great birthday!
