We have taken the plunge and started buying camping gear. We were excited to set up our new tent in the yard to practice. We set it up last Saturday and slept in it Sunday for our afternoon nap and then later that night...just to test it. Violet stayed inside, but Daniel and I enjoyed the roomy size and our new bags and sleeping mats. We are planning a trip to Big Sur very soon.
My momma made a quick stop through here on her way back to Maryland. She had been up in Alaska with my Dad for 6 weeks and was flying back. Everyone agreed a short layover in our neck of the woods was needed. (Dad will be here later this month as he returns to MD as well.) She was here Tuesday evening to Saturday morning, just enough time for some Nonni lovin' and a little dancing. This is the two of them getting some snuggles.
We enjoy biking around Monterey and last Saturday we ended up down near the wharf and walked around a Greek festival and a general beautiful sunny day. We sat and enjoyed some traditional Greek music and got a snack in a little cafe downtown. We are so glad to be so close to everything...only a short bike ride away from so much fun!
Vi noshing on a coffee stir stick. Everything goes in the mouth. We are hoping a tooth will show up any day now.
Apparently this restaurant has an interesting appetizer to draw in tourists.
Vi's new favorite way of sitting with Daddy. Daniel turns his chair around at the table and Vi is able to stand and open her mouth for bites. She doesn't look happy here because she was denied a big bite of cheerios. The next smaller bite is for her though.
As always there are a few more pictures in my flickr account to the right of the blog.
