First time on a submarine...

This weekend we went to Monterey to have lunch and spend time with our Mommy's childhood friend, Lee and his wife, Becky. They haven't seen each other in almost 20 years. What a treat it was to visit the town where Mommy grew up. Although Mommy and Daddy have been to Monterey many, many times we have always had to stay behind (since they usually visit places where we are not allowed). First we went to a great little coffee house cafe for lunch.

In the bushes there were these little birds just hanging out watching everyone eat.

Then we walked through historic Monterey

and went down to the beach where I dug a hole in the sand while Sierra watched the the seagulls combing the beach for food.

Mommy let a stranger hold her camera to take this picture. Too bad Sierra is hiding behind everyone.

After our stroll along the sea we came across a submarine buried in the dirt. This was our first time on one even if it wasn't under water.

Sierra's Scoop

We have been living the life lately. Over the weekend I went to the beach with my family and some of our friends and we had so much fun. I loved every minute of it. This was my very first time seeing the ocean. I thought Lake Tahoe was big but I was pretty amazed by the ocean. It looks like it goes on forever. WOW!!!

Besides lots of sea gulls, there were a bunch of sea shells scattered across the beach. I found a big one but it was kind of stinky.
Then I saw something very strange. It looked like a big spider crawling on the sand. I think I was getting too close because it tried to pinch my nose. Just then a big wave came in and swept the little dungeness crab back to sea.
The only thing I didn't like was all the sand. I played fetch for like two throws then I got sand in my mouth.
Also the sand is hot so you have to dig down to find some cooler sand.
