Is This Heaven? No It's Carmel!

I love all the places we have visited since we moved out to California.  It is such a wonderful experience for us and especially for Mattie to be able to have so much to do so close to home.  As a parent, it is so rewarding to see Mattie's face light up when we show her something new, or to watch how she bursts with energy in a new place with new experiences.

This past weekend we drove to Carmel.  What a beautiful town, and only about an hour and a half away.  Adam and I have decided when we hit it big and win the lotto we are moving to Carmel!  Absolutely gorgeous!!

The weather was perfect, it was sunny and warm.  Mattie loved it, we couldn't keep her out of the water (and the water was frigid)!

This is the house that Adam and I are buying with lotto winnings :)

I think this guy was just pondering the mysteries of life!

We also drove over to Monterey.  It was pretty there as well, but nothing compares to Carmel!

I mean of course we had to stop for ice cream!

Such a great little trip for us!  Carmel is our favorite town so far!  I was a little disappointed that we did not run into Clint Eastwood :) but we had so much fun with Mattie.  Such a great place for us to spend some fun family time together!
