Today was Monterey Bay Aquarium Day! Everyone has been so excited for this day to come. We had to wait until today to go because we have tickets, through our Hampton Inn hotel, that give us two consecutive days for the price of one and we had the Tesla factory tour yesterday. We were lucky Continue reading
The road trip definitely continued today. We left the comfort of Monterey Bay and ventured further north today. Now, Brian has gone farther north then he’s ever been in California, by car. Today we finished our free hot breakfast at the Hampton Inn and headed up to Fremont to visit the Tesla factory. Brian has Continue reading
How is it already day three? We have had a ton of fun already and we haven’t even been to the Monterey Bay Aquarium yet. Is that possible? Yes. Here’s how. We woke up this morning and enjoyed a pretty darn awesome “free hot breakfast” at our Hampton Inn. They had everything – cereal, oatmeal, Continue reading
After a good night’s sleep at The Morgan in San Simeon, not to mention a good breakfast, we packed up and checked out. We had to get over to the Hearst Castle for the 9:40 Grand Room Tour.

The long, holiday weekend was a perfect opportunity to take Uncle James out for a way, way, way overdue birthday dinner. So, later Saturday afternoon we picked up James and headed over to Mastro’s in Beverly Hills, a first for him. I tried to get Violet to pose for a pic with the boys but Continue reading
Today was a very special day. Both of our kids hit another major milestone today – Violet started pre-kindergarten and Ethan started first grade. For Ethan, it was a slightly scarier experience because this is the first time he remembers moving on to a new school. He stressed over it all weekend. He kept saying Continue reading
