To Get Away from it All

On Sunday, Scott, William, & I drove down to Monterey to stay with my parents at their beach house for a few days.
Yesterday morning, we went to First Awakenings - the best restaurant for breakfast ever (actually, Mama's in San Fran is also a favorite)! The portions are huge (honestly, they're too big), & the food is incredible - we always get an egg/potato skillet & wheatberry pancakes.
Will riding the tractor:
Later on in the day, we took a walk on the beach just down the street from my parents' place. It was a beautiful day, albeit a little cold.
I swear, I'm only ever in the pictures if I take the picture myself, or hand the camera over to Scott & remind him that I'm part of the family too (he's not a single dad!).
Playing with the kelp:
Back home for a break:
Will has the most squishable, kissable cheeks - I just love them.
Finally, last evening, we went for a drive around Carmel to look at the beautiful houses there. This particular house had such an interesting roof - it's all wavy - & the brick on the outside was crooked & so different.
A drive-by picture of the beach (which is why the picture is so blurry):
Home from the drive: Will standing up by himself - he actually stood there for quite a long time:
It was so good to travel to Monterey for the few days that we could. We had such a great time & loved spending time away from it all - one last hurrah before Scott starts school (in just over a week).

  2. I can't believe that Will is standing, that is so exciting! I love his hair, it looks so much like Carson's, very long on top. I would have to agree Will's cheeks are darling but those eyes are AMAZING! Looks like you guys had a great time!
