Fisherman’s Wharf – Monterey Style

Estimated reading time: 2 minute(s)

Tonight we decided to go for a walk down Fisherman’s Wharf in downtown Monterey. It’s only about a 10 minute drive from our place. Lots of little shops, and lots of FOOD (which we needed NONE of!) and, lots of SEALS.

Seriously. Lots of seals. Making lots of noise. There were also otters, sea gulls, pelicans, and a few other random animals. I guess they like it there. 🙂 We just stayed and watched them for a while… I couldn’t believe how much noise they were making!!

We strolled the wharf for a while after watching the live National Geographic episode. There were lots of little souvenir shops, so we went through their aisles, finding all sorts of treasures our kids would like. We picked up a few, but decided to be a bit more selective. We’ll probably come back for a few more, but we’ll shop around a bit first.

There were also free samples from several of the little restaurants. That was interesting. We tried a nice little clam chowder one, and then we got a dessert sample from a little candy shop. Pretty neat place. 🙂

It really was a nice birthday for Jen. I’m glad I got so spend all of it with her.

We came back home around 8pm or so and caught the end of the World Series. Jen fell asleep though, not too long after we started watching, and missed the last few innings. 🙂 She woke up for the bottom of the ninth.

Can’t believe we still have most of a week left! More fun to come tomorrow!
