Well this past weekend my husband took me away on a wonderful trip for my 21st birthday. He has often heard about how Lilley birthdays last for the week surrounding it. He was dtermind to make this birthday just as special and he went above and beyond any birthday I have ever had!
We left early Saturday morning and took the four and a half hour drive north. It was a gorgeous drive and we enjoyed the time we got to visit and just be together. We arrived around 11 and checked into our hotel before heading to the fishermans warf for a big bread bowl of clam chowder!
But there was a sign saying warf parking, so we parked and fed the meter quite a lot, than realised we were at the wrong place... Ooops:-) So we walked down to the end anyways and found a hord of seals hanging out on the rocks. They had a fence up but you could reach right through and touch them! We watched the seals, and the divers for a while before heading over to the real warf:-)
We went back to the hotel and cleaned up before heading to dinner at the sardine factory (suggested by the hotel staff and promised not to be to expensive) it was a gorgeous restraunt. the room we sat in was a big glass dome and very romantic, but in the end it was one of the smallest most expensive meals we had ever had... But it was a fun experiance and we met a really nice old couple sitting next to us who entertained us with talk about fur coats and if you should wear them or not (I personaly vote yes! Kill the animals bah haha kidding!) 
we headed to the movie theater after this only to find out EVERYTHING was sold out until 10pm that night! So we walked over to the mall, and it was closed. So if you ever go to Monterey, know everything closes at 7 even on a Saturday night. We stopped at rite aid and bought battle ship and some cards and spent the rest of the evening back at the hotel:-)
The next morning we slept in! After we got up we took a nice walk down cannery row and enjoyed the sun before going to the aquarium:-) But this is a long post already so I will post about that tomorrow:-)

After lunch we walked the warf and stopped off at a candy shop for some salt water taffy before heading to cannery row.we spent the rest of the afternoon shopping and walking through the tide pools. It was so fun and relaxing just being together. I love days like that!
