Our road trip to monterey this past weekend

We had a three day two night trip to SJ and Monterey.  Isabel had a great time.  here was the highlights
  • Happy Hollow in SJ - Isabel love feeding the goats and trying all the kiddie rides including a rollercoaster, train ride, carousel, frog hopper, car merry go around etc...  + a huge slide structure.  It was almost 90 degrees so mama sat in air-conditioned cafe for awhile.  
  • Dinner at White Shallot with old friends - Joel and Pia and their two boys - Vietnamese French food near Santana row with none of the craziness or arrogant service.  A really good meal
  • Monterey Bay Aquarium - Isabel was fascinated with the big fish, sharks, and baby otters.  We got passes from friends so got in for free - yeepy.
  • Stayed at Embassy Suites near Monterey - nice hotel, large room, lots to do in the hotel
  • SandBar and Grill - one of the best dinner we had in awhile.  a great surprise - see pics of food below  - it's a room built on top of the water by the pier. I would give it a 5 star on yelp if I did reviews
  • Dennis the menace playground - see video - huge playground - free - Isabel had so much fun with slides, swings, etc...
