While Heather ran on the beach and Anna worked out in our hotel's fitness room, Dave and I took the girls to the super fun Dennis the Menace Park. This park, with its climbing wall, suspension bridges, garden maze, tunnels, different playground equipment and "mail package slide" (as Ella calls it), is Kid Heaven!
When we all met up again, it was time to check out of the hotel and check out the Monterey Pizza My Heart for lunch.
The last part of our experiential Christmas gift to Anna and Heather was a day of hiking around Point Lobos in Carmel. We saw this favorite hiking spot as we've never seen it before-- shrouded in fog! While the sun shone in Monterey, this State Reserve along the coast and cliffs was actually in a cloud! It was pretty cool to walk around.
We took a new Cypress Grove Trail which wound through a forest of old, gnarled Cypress trees. The fog and twisty trees made us feel like we were in another world!
The best part of Point Lobos is that you are never out of sight of the ocean. I just love, love, love hiking while enjoying these sea views!

These pictures made me a little nervous. You are all very brave to have climbed around up there. The scenery is beautiful!
Love, MOM
Sweet! The shoe shot made it. :-)
