We're still here!

We've moved on from Santa Barbara and are now in Monterey. We decided on taking Rt. 101 as opposed to the Pacific Coast Highway to save time. It still took us close to 5 hours with stops to get here. I must stay that Collin did very well on the drive! We were originally booked at a Travel Lodge for Monterey, but it was a total DUMP, so we jumped ship to a little historic hotel n downtown. The funniest thing is that there is some kind of huge motorcycle race here this weekend and there are literally hundreds of bikers here. Last night was an awful night's sleep with all of the vroom vroom going on down mainstreet (right outside our window)! Other than that, Monterey has been fun. The aquarium here is awesome and we spent today exploring Carmel and Point Lobos (very cool). Tomorrow, we're off on the last leg of our trip to San Francisco. We feel like we've been gone a year!
