2008 Summer Vacation

We usually take one big summer vacation each year, usually out to CA to visit my family. This year we drove up to Monterey Bay for a few days. "We" includes everyone in my family, my sister Jen, her husband Russ, and their daughter Caroline, my Mom and Dad, and my two cousins on my Mom's side, Christine and Colleen. Needless to say, we needed two mini-vans. The drive up took 8 hours! But we stopped in Santa Barbara for a potty break and then again in Solvang to eat breakfast.

Monterey was so pretty! I just love being by the ocean, hopefully one day we'll be close again. We visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium, where the pictures below were taken. We saw the craziest fish called Sunfish. I bought Caroline and Julia matching socks with sunfish on them. Caroline and Julia are 2 1/2 months apart, but Caroline outweighs my petite girl by about 5 pounds! Caroline loved running around with Thomas and Matthew-she could keep up with all the playing by the time our 3 week visit with her was over!
