'Winter' Fun












We had a lot of fun during the 'winter' we spent in California. We weren't able to keep up with the blog, but here are some of the cool things we managed to do before heading back to school. My dad, Uncle Don,
Duben and I went to a Giants game in April. It was great! That was their first win of the season, and lovely Barry hit one out of the park. And of course, the garlic fries were amazing. All of our mouths were burning, but we couldn't stop eating til they were gone. So good!

Duben
and I also took a trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. One of our personal favs. Duben likes the Aquarium even more since he worked with them for a few weeks.
We also took a trip up to Santa Cruz. That is probably my favorite place to people watch. First we made a stop at Cole's BBQ in
Aptos. It is sooo good. It has the best tri-tip, and their signature sauce is amazing. Of course we went to the Boardwalk so I could school Duben in mini golf, which I did. Then we stopped at the best Ice Cream shoppe ever...Marianne's. So many glorious flavors!

We also went to dinner with Mom, Dad, Don, and Cindy to
Sapporos in Monterey. The food was great, the Chefs were really amazing to watch, Duben has tried to mimic some of the tricks with no luck, just a bunch of broken eggs on the floor. It was really fun.

Our last trip was probably my favorite of them all. We went to Carmel Beach to have a little BBQ and watch the sunset. It is
sooo pretty there, it always makes it hard to leave.
Well, that's how we spent our 'Winter' - we live the rough life...
