first family vacation

During spring break, we went to Monterey for our very first vacation as a family of four. We had been on vacation with Madison before this trip, but it was always with friends or family. These three days we spent together, making wonderful memories along the way!

The water was freezing cold and it was really windy, but that did not stop Audrey...she actually ran through the water with her swimming suit on!


This picture makes me laugh as I remember that we had to hide out in the bathroom while Madison fell asleep. We played Tangled on the portable dvd player and ate ice cream from Rite Aid. Like I said...memories.


This trip was actually a Christmas present from my parents, Nani and Papa. It included a two night stay at Asilomar and four passes to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Audrey couldn't wait to go to the aquarium to see and touch all the "fishes"!


As soon as we walked through the door, Audrey was given the opportunity to let a tiny crab walk on the inside of her hand. She loved it!! Later she told us it was her favorite part of the entire aquarium experience.


Madison checked out a few things...


...and soon was out for a nap in Daddy's arms.

For those of you who have been to the aquarium, this is where you stand under the glass as the water crashes down around you. Yeah, Madison wasn't too excited...


...she let us know it!


Audrey could stand there forever if we let her.

Madison's first time feeling the cold ocean water on her toes.
