Carmel

Shortly after returning from Big Basin, the boys and I went to Carmel for a couple of days with Christina, Henry, and Julia. It was fun to see their house there and discover how beautiful Carmel is. It was chilly, but that didn’t stop the kids from wanting to spend time at the beach (of course). There was the obligatory digging and building.

After that, we went on a nice walk through town. The reward was the candy store.

The next morning, Christina and I went on a moms-only walk and had breakfast at a little cafe. It was a great way to start the day.

After we got our acts together and dragged the kids off their devices, we went to the Aquarium. We didn’t stay very long but we had a good time.

We had another round of building on the beach before we headed home. Finn and Julia even braved the water … a little bit.
