Our Annual Beach Trip to Monterey, CA
Dalen, Lexi, Deveon and Noah
This year we decided to up our budget and stay in a hotel closer to the Aquarium and nicer than a hotel with no elevator and construction outside our window at 6am...but I don't think we realized how fancy this hotel was...but somehow we survived with four adults and our nine kiddos...We met Josh's sister April and her hubby Eric and their 5 kids from So. Cal for a meet in the middle and play for a weekend...April and I hit the Spa for some R&R with facials and massages since our Hotel had a Spa...it was like "Cruise time" with a jacuzzi on the penthouse deck over-looking the sea...Gor-Geous...

Off to the Monterey Bay Aquarium to explore the new Seahorse Exhibit and Kids Zone...

Hands On for the kids...

Later we made our way to the beach for some playtime in the sand...

Cousins: Maya, Kenzie, Dalen, Bella, Diego, Deveon and Lexi...

After the beach-time was winding down the dad's and kids cleaned up the toys and worked their way back to the hotel while me and April went to get some Pizza and Pasta for the family to eat back at the hotel...the poor bathtubs full of sand...but soon we had happy, full kids that were ready to crash...
