2009 Coast Trip with Wilsteads

Easter weekend 2009 at the Coast

The Wilsteads came to the coast with us. We stayed at the Residenc Inn


Kaela became the official door opening, perfecting the key and green light.

Cannery Row was great fun. Toll House and Bubba Gump Restaurant were among our treats for the day.



The infamous 17 mile drive was as breathtaking as I had hoped.








John Steinbeck made Salinas, California bright spot for the coastline. He become famous and wealthy after he published The Grapes of Wrath.

Ava loves to laugh and get others to laugh with her.

Monterrey Bay Aquarium was the highlight of the weekend.
I thought Josh would love this picture of Nemo.

Sunglasses and umbrellas -who could ask for more? (Especially inside the aquarium!)

It was a beautiful weather all weekend.



The Jelly Fish display was my favorite. Ava loved getting wet with the plastic fish. She didn't like wearing the yellow apron to prevent her from becoming totally drenched with water but to no avail.

It was great fun at the aquarium. I'm looking forward to return trip.
