Adam and I had to make a late-night run to Walmart to buy more decks of cards to play Hand & Foot, and sunscreen with SPF 50 (we've both gotten burned crispy being pale and unused to the higher altitude).
Today we headed across the Sierra Nevadas, nearly 8000 feet up! It was beautiful, there were lakes still frozen and waterfalls of snow melting down rock walls. In Stockton, we went to the zoo & out to dinner with Adam's cousins, Sarah and Russ and their kids Bella and Peyton, and Josh and Ashley and their boys Jayden, Trace, and Liam. It was great to hang out with them this afternoon, the kids were so much fun. They loved it when I was attacked by the Lorikeets in the aviary at the zoo. These birds were gorgeous, but a litttle overwhelming when they're perched on your head, back, shoulders and arms.
Currently, we're camped out at Motel 6 in Monterey. Before parking ourselves for the night, we cruised Old Town/Downtown Monterey Bay, including Fisherman's Wharf and Cannery Row. I think we're heading back into town in the morning because Dad needs to pay a visit to Bad Ass Coffee Company, then on down the coast. Have I mentioned how much I love the ocean?! Sooo do!
