Happy Birthday Brent!
We took advantage of a last-minute work trip that I had to make out to San Francisco in early August and turned it into a mini family vacation to celebrate Brent's birthday. Brent was able to meet up with his cousin, Ben, and his son, Jonas, for a day in the city. We all met up for dinner after Ben's wife, Megan, and I finished working. We went out for a great German dinner and watched Sabrina devour all sorts of German food. The people at other tables were commenting about how much she ate!
That night we drove down to Monterey where we spent the weekend taking the free trolley to the Aquarium, Fisherman's Wharf, and Cannery Row. We were able to go to the aquarium two days in a row on the same ticket which made for a very nice way to split it up without pushing for too long either day. We also went on a glass bottom boat ride from Fisherman's Wharf on Saturday evening where we saw tons of sea lions and Sabrina got to eat kelp!
Sunday we stopped in Castroville at the Artichoke Cafe which was the funkiest, 70s-style diner we have ever been to, but they had a menu chock full of artichokes. We had them steamed, fried, dipped in ranch dressing (no butter...very disappointing)...every way you could imagine. Sabrina seemed to get the concept of "scraping off" the artichokes by the end of the weekend, but we're pretty sure she just loved the dip. Who can blame her?
We had a great family getaway and really enjoyed spending several days non-stop with Sabrina. She's such a great traveler!
