Jakes older sister Carly called us and told us they rented a beach house in Monterey for the week and invited us to come! We could not turn down that offer especially since neither of us had been there and needed a fun little getaway. We left Sunday morning and it was only a two hour drive! We pulled up to the cutest little house right down the street from Lovers point beach in pacific grove.
Jimmy and Carly pulled up a couple minutes later and we decided to go for a walk and check the area out. It was perfect weather and so gorgeous!
The next day we went to the Monterey bay aquarium which Lexie loved!!
The next morning the boys went golfing so we walked down to the beach with all the kids and let them play for a while! Sidenote: Carly has 5 kids and the youngest is 2 months old and she is seriously a super mom! Especially on vacations! Lexie liked the water until she got too excited and fell down and the waves got to her... But after a quick change of clothes she was back to playing in the sand and keeping her distance from the cold water.
When the boys got back we went on a drive up past big sur to a hike to see McWay falls. It was the prettiest drive I have ever done right along the coast but also the curviest drive....
The plan was to leave that night but on the way back lexie got car sick for the first time on that dang crazy drive and so we didn't want to risk driving home for another 2 hours until her stomach settled so we stayed another night and left early the next morning. We owe Carly and jimmy big time for inviting us on their family vacation and we will definitely be visiting Monterey again!
