Holiday Recap 6

We went on a road trip. And by we, I mean me, Ellie, and Calvin. We drove up to Monterey, saw the aquarium, and drove home the long way.

The first day we headed out and got to Solvang around 11am. We walked around and ate lunch as well as got some bakery treats for the car ride. 

The kids didn’t seem that excited by Solvang. But at least we got to stretch our legs. We stopped again in Paso Robles and the kids played on a playground for about 20 minutes. 

We learned that Calvin, Ellie, and I all have very different preferences regarding what to listen to in the car. So, while Calvin slept Ellie and I listened to Stockard Channing read Beverly Cleary’s Ramona books. (Calvin likes no music or any sound in the car). 

Eventually we made it to Monterey and checked into the hotel. We then headed out to Fisherman’s Wharf where we ate Calvin’s body weight in seafood. And the kids learned that they loved shrimp. We also got some taffy!
