Our family traveled to Monterey this weekend to celebrate Daddy's birthday. We enjoyed our time in one of our favorite places by riding bikes, swimming, playing in the COLD ocean, eating fresh seafood, visiting the best aquarium ever, and resting in our new favorite hotel - the Portola...our room gave us the most spectacular view of the ocean. It was wonderful to eat our breakfast on the balcony while watching and hearing the seals play right in the ocean. This hotel was extremely family-friendly (think pirate-theme everywhere - needless to say, Gannon was in heaven). We arrived to warm cookies, Gannon was given a treasure chest of goodies, Mila a sweet little seal toy and they even provided Godiva chocolates on your bed when they turned your sheets down. Nice. We all had the best time and it was so great to see Mila love the creatures in the aqaurium as much as her brother does.
