David and i had the opportunity of going to Pebble Beach California to celebrate 30 years of marital bliss. OK maybe not blissful all the time, but lots of good times. Anyways thanks to Yasmine's parents who have a rental home in Monterrey, They graciously let us spend the week relaxing and seeing the California coast line, while staying in the rental. We got to see the Monterrey Aquarium which is awesome. It is amazing what is in the Ocean. Then we ate at the most fabulous restaurant on fisherman's wharf, Called the Grotto. The sea food was excellent, and the clam chowder and Calamari was to die for. The scallops and calamari just melted in your mouth. Non of that chewy stuff. Dang my mouth is watering just writing about it. Thanks to the Huseins for a fantastic meal. The desert was scrumptious. I had Creme Brule, and David had Key Lime pie.
We went window shopping at Carmel. Because that is about all you can afford to do. but it was fun. I did find an awesome toy store called Thinkers Toys, it has a ton of educational toys. needless to say i got a few stocking stuffers. We saw the infamous pebble beach golf courses. If your willing to drop a few hundred bucks (400-500)you can actually play there, but you have to book it about a year in advance. so we didn't get to experience that Aw Shucks!!!
We drove down the coast to Big Sur that's where there are big waves for surfing. We only saw a few. but i don't think it must be the time of year for surfing. The weather was not really hot just a nice 70's + This time of year is apparently the nicest time to visit Monterrey, because it is really clear and i guess they get quite a bit of fog there. It was a great place to visit. but there's no place like home.Thanks again to King and Diane for their Hospitality. And Honey, Thanks for a wonderful 30 years. Hope there will be another 30 +.

Happy 30 years. You guys are an inspiration to your kids and others. Congrats! So glad you were able to get away and relax a little despite a few bumps during the week! The beach looks beautiful and that is a great picture of the two of you.
