I have been back at work since early November, and Nana has been back in Mountain View watching Annie. But I had some time off for the Thanksgiving holiday, so the three of us went on our first overnight trip! (Annie's first - Nana and I have both traveled before). We had a great time! We went to Monterey, which is about an hour and a half south of here. Monterey is super pretty, and we took lots of walks by the ocean and watched the surfers, sea otters, and waves. In the morning we watched the sun rise over the bay, and laughed at the sea lions fighting for sleeping space on the docks. We went to the aquarium both days, which Annie LOVED! She loves watching movement and light, which is pretty much what the aquarium is all about. The Monterey one is especially nice and has huge tanks with lots of fancy lighting. Here is a picture of Annie and Nana watching the sea otter tank.
I don't seem to have taken any pictures on Thanksgiving day itself, but you will have to take my word for it that we had a lovely time that day, too. We were in Mountain View, and had coffee in the morning with Thomas and Amy, then dinner at Uncle Dan and Aunt Michelle's house with the cousins, and Nana, and Michelle's parents. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
Nana & baby look equally enchanted by the Otters! Looks like everybody had a great time!
ReplyDeleteIt seems ridiculous that you didn't use Annie as a distraction so you could steal an otter. My birthday is coming up, after all.
