Thanksgiving

My husband and I decided to take a vacation. Just us and our kids which we had not done in almost two years. So we looked up on Priceline hotels in Monteray Bay. We got an three star hotel for just about the same price as an one star hotel! Cool uh? We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn at Monteray Bay. Just a couple of miles away from the ocean! We had a great time. We left Wednesday night and drove to Solvine, a cute little dutch town, and stayed at the Kronborg Inn by Bestwestern. Then in the morning we walked around looking at the shops, since it was Thanksgiving morning not much was open. But we did find an little Cafe open and got some ableskivers. They were yummy!!!! Almost like a crepe except thicker and in a ball, served with raspberry sauce and powered sugar. Then we drove on up to Monteray. We decided to take the coastal route. It was very pretty.
We got to Monteray about 2:30, and since we couldn't check into our hotel until 3:00 we went to Fishermen's Warf and walked around. The sea lions were going at it with their unintelligent noises. It was very funny to listen. After we checked into our hotel we got ready to go eat dinner. We ate at an Italian/seafood place. Again since it was Thanksgiving day not many places were open. But this place was good. I had steak and deep fried shrimp and hubby had an seafood pasta dish. Both were very good.
Friday morning we ate at the buffet at the hotel. It was a very gourmet breakfast. They had locs and bagels, made to order omlets, crepes, eggs, pancakes...everything you could think of for breakfast. Then we went to the Aquirium. It was crowed but Big Brother had fun. Right before dinner we went to see an Lighthouse then we ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co, and Restuarant. Oh man that was good. We started off with 3/4 lb of shrimp cooked in an Cajun sauce and also in garlic sauce, then we had for our main dish Maui Maui deep fried. For desert we had an fudgy chocolat cake cooked in an mason jar. That was so yummy! And since it was close to Big Brothers birthday they sang to him. He had fun with that.
Saturday morning we drove out of Monteray through an place called 17 mile drive. Its along the coast and has million dollar homes along the way. Very pretty. So we had a good time.
