We went out there to visit with Rob's family(he is from the bay area, Martinez). We went with a plan this time I didn't want to sit around the entire time. We stayed in a hotel because it was closer to some of the things we wanted to do and Rob and Dean wouldn't do well with My mother in laws cats in the house. I liked it because I didn't feel like I was intruding on anyone's space.
Well the first full day that we were there we went to the Monteray Bay Aquarium. There were alot of things to do and see there It was very kid friendly too. Dean really liked it even though he would run from one thing to the next.

The next day we went to this fun little place called Coyote point. it was sort of a museum/zoo for kids. They have the oldest otter in the nation. He is 21 years old most of them only live to be 10 to 15 years old. Dean had fun with some of the hands on things in the museum.

The next day was Sunday and we went to church with Rob's mom then spent the day at her house. On Monday we went to Muir woods and looked at the redwoods. They are very pretty. Dean had a blast running down the path and getting attention from all the other guest. I saw my fist banana slug. I guess it was strange that I had never seen one before.

On our last day there we went to the beach. you can't visit California with out going to the beach. I was excited because it was the first time it was actually warm at the beach when I have gone out there. Dean didn't like walking in the sand with out his sandals on and didn't like the sand in his sandals. He sat on the edge of the blanket and played in the sand that way. He loved watching the waves too.
