Two Day Getaway- No Children

While we were in Hollister our parents were so kind to keep the girls so we could go to Monterey. We spent a couple of days by ourselves. At first I felt guilty for leaving them, but then I started to enjoy it and ended up having a great time. I felt like we were newlyweds but even better. We did lots of walking around Cannery Row, the beach and we spent one of the days in beautiful Carmel. I loved both days, but I think my favorite was walking around Point Lobos State Reserve. It was amazing, I highly recommend this place, it is beautiful and so relaxing.This momma and baby were super close to us.
While in Cannery Row we had lunch at Bubba Gump. I know Bubba is so touristy, but we like the food there.
After Bubba we did some more walking and stopped to get some chocolate at a local candy shop, then we headed to our hotel.
After a little rest we took off again and visited their local farmer's market. We bought some fresh peaches and plums, and we tried some Lebanese food.We walked right by the ocean before heading to the hotel for the night. Ah, and we also stopped by some historical buildings.

The second day we went to Carmel. This little town is gorgeous, I loved it! If Phillip was a Doctor we would live there. We visited the mission there. I love missions, they are so interesting and San Carlos Borroméo de Carmel Mission did not disappoint. We took lots of pictures and just enjoyed one another's company. Once we were done touring the mission we drove downtown Carmel and stopped at a couple shops. We ended up buying some awesome hats at The Carmel Hat Company. We had lunch at a local Café.
This is one of my favorite pictures of the two of us.I loved this stairs, they were so pretty.Finally, we went for one last walk in Monterey and then headed back to Hollister to our two little monkeys.NEXT DESTINATION LOS ANGELES & MALIBU!
