Stef and I made it out to Monterey for a couple of days over the weekend (we left the kids with Emile and Jane).  We had a fantastic time relaxing, talking about life, and rolling around the Monterey peninsula doing whatever we wanted :)

We hit some old family favorite restaurants around town (The Grotto on the wharf, Gianni's Pizza, and  First Awakenings near the Aquarium), and tried some new ones (Latitudes, on Lover's Point).  We also drove the 17 mile drive (beautiful) for the first time in forever.  The weather could have been nicer, but it didn't put much of a damper on the trip.

Anyway, we're back, rested, and happy to be home with the kids.
