North to Monterey.

Last week we headed up Highway 1 north to Monterey. First night we camped at Plaskett Creek and explored Sand Dollar beach. On the way up we stopped and watched a nest being built.

 The boys enjoyed the chipmunks 

 Bixby is interested in the rocks

 Arlo really has a way with animals. I wouldn't really recommend

getting  this close but it it was a surprise when it just hopped up.

 Down to Sand Dollar beach

 Where we explored the caves

 And the serpentine rock

 The boys engineered a dam while the adults rested

 Back at the campsite, poppers were popped and a fire lit

 Roasted hot dogs for dinner

 Termites in a log

 And...finally bed time.

The next day we headed north

 Wheres Bixby.?...On his bridge !!

 The boys practiced their Parkcor moves

Time to draw

 The next campground at Monterey Dunes had a great path to the beach.

 With a fun way to get down to the beach

 And a swim for Jack

A humpback whale breached in front of us (No picture)

 We made cupcakes for Grandads birthday

 And burgers for dinner

 A bit of horsing around and then...time for bed again.

The next day we went to the Monterey Bay aquarium.

To touch the Bat Rays

Where shall we go next?

 Octopi for everyone

 Tired at the end of a great day

We headed for home but one more adventure awaited us.
We had a separated tire coming over the 46 so we waited for the AAA
to come and change our tire. We ate the emergency meals in the RV.
