Adventures in Monterey

by Papa K on August 21, 2012

Maile Girl went on her very first vacation without Mommy and Daddy this week. Grandma Jill and Papa Mike took Maile down to Monterey for the night. (She’s been away from us before, but we’ve always left her on her home turf, this is the first time she’s headed out without us.) By all accounts she did great and had a blast exploring the sites of Monterey. They hit the Dennis the Menace playground, checked out Carmel and visited the Monterey Aquarium. Maile knows a thing or two about aquariums and said this one was top notch.

Grandpa Mike went to the Dennis the Menace Playground when he was a little boy - this was a return trip, some 50 years later!

It was hard to tell who had more fun, Maile Girl or Papa Mike...

Dinner had an amazing view - right off the pier were a bunch of seals! Maile loved it.

Love this picture of Grandma Jill and Maile - both fascinated by the sites at the aquarium!

No trip would be complete without a souvenir. This is our new pink, purple, blue whale - Maile is currently snuggled up asleep with her.

Thank you Grandma Jill and Papa Mike for the first of many adventures!
