The kids survived the 6ish hour car ride today up to Monterey CA, the first leg of our trip up to Portland, OR. We left early so we didn’t have to worry about LA traffic and how many stops we should/could make. We did stop at Hungry Bear Diner at the bottom of the Grapevine for some pancakes and a gas fill up. After that stop we decided to pull over at Ocho Libre Winery so the kids could check out some animals like bulls, sheep getting pruned and alpacas. We also almost ran into a snake by the grapevines! Eek I hate snakes. This was one of the wineries we went to when I was DD on our Cayukos trip with Clif and Leslie when I was pregnant with Andrew.
We then make it into Monterey around 2:30 got our hotel room at the Monterey Plaza Hotel. Our hotel is within walking distance of everything. It’s the perfect place to stay. We ate dinner at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co and then walked around watching the otters eat their crabs for dinner and the sea lions (and babies) sun bathe.
