We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Rachel had tons of fun looking at all the sea creatures and touching the starfish. They even had a toddler play area so she could get more wiggles out. I really enjoy downtown Monterey and Cannery Row, it was one of our first dates!
On Saturday, Rachel's birthday, we had a big family party for my brother, mom, and Rachel since they all have March birthdays.Rachel was obsessed with a candy dish in the living room and eventually figured out she could stuff candy in all her pockets. We told her she couldn't eat any since she was already getting cake and ice cream. Her rebuttal was that she would save it for later.What a smarty pants!
We of course had to take advantage of the nice weather by going to the beach! Rachel loved looking for sea shells!We actually went to the same beach where Will proposed to me almost 4 years ago. And I didn't get any pictures, but my parents have been saving our wedding cake in their freezer for 3 years now and we finally took it out to eat. Cheesecake definitely does not freeze well for 3 years. It was a bit freezer burnt. yuck!
Wow, we relived a lot of good memories while visiting.
