Our Get Away Weekend


Lance and I decided to celebrate our 1rst anniversary a little bit early. Lance has to work on our anniversary and this was the best weekend to go so we just went. We stayed in Monterey and visited Carmel where we stayed on our honeymoon. We went to all of the main spots that we went to a year ago. In Monterey we went to Cannery Row and to Bubba Gumps Shrimp Co. On friday night we watched the sun set on the pier. Very romantic :) We had delicious Clam Chowder at a really nice restaurant at the Old Fishermanns Wharf. We had the best seats in the house overlooking the water and there were otters swimming around while we ate. They were really cute! I really liked the otters. On Saturday we spent the day in Carmel. We started the day at the beach which was really fun. Lance is not a huge fan of the beach but he didn't complain because he knew I really like it. We went into a lot of stores and looked at all of the ridiculously priced items and then moved on and looked at the ridiculously priced art. It was fun though. We went by the ridiculously priced Inn that we stayed in on our honeymoon and waved. The Monterey Best Western that we stayed in was actually pretty nice. It didn't quite measure up to the Coachman's Inn though :) where we stayed. The Hog's Breath Restaurant in Carmel was lance's favorite spot. Lance is convinced that it is the best food on the face of the Earth. It was pretty good. Here are some pictures from our trip -

Our vacation began in the car as many great ones do. Lance was not liking having his picture taken. He had better get used to it! He'll be a seasoned pro by the end of our weekend :)

Our day in Monterey begins at the wharf!

My face is a little to close to the camera in this one :) oops... hey is that Lance behind me?

In a tourist shop, we decided to do a hat fashion show...

I don't really know about this one.

Lance's Hugh Heffner hat...

This one looks pretty good. Dallin would be jealous.


Our otter lunch mate!

Lance made friends on the way to the beach!

Well I really wanted a picture with the ocean in the background. We were on a hill, however. And yes, right after the picture was taken, we slipped and fell down the hill. Yeah...

Today is a good day. Smiles all around

We got a whiff of some not so nice beach smells. yucky! It quickly passed.

Day at the Beach - It is not 110 degrees here!

Smoochin on the beach

This is Lance in front of his favorite restaurant. He had just eaten there and looks so happy:)
