We booked a "suite" at the Rio Sands motel in Aptos. One block off the beach, it was a perfect location. It was a typical beach motel, complete with floral bedspreads and a damp smell - but to the kids, it might as well have been the Ritz Carlton. The room even had 2 TV's...imagine that!
We visited the Monterey Aquarium.
We played in the tide pools at Pacific Grove.

We played on the beach.
We flew kites.
We swam in the pool (OK, the kids swam. Steve and I sat on lawn chairs and watched.)
We were together.
Life is sweet.

How fun! Monterey is so pretty and the aquarium is so fun! Why have I never thought of doing a weekend down there? Good luck with the swim meet tomorrow!
Glad you guys had a great time!
I'm so glad you guys got away and got to spend some time together. That's wonderful. Looks like a blast!
