At the end of June we packed up the car and made our favorite drive across Nevada to California. We stayed two weeks in Turlock where it reached temperatures of 108 degrees. The kids enjoyed swimming at Grandma Mimi's and the splash pad at Grandpa Bob's house. We ate lots of snacks and I worked a few days remotely.
We took two days and went to the Monterey coast and visited a beach. It was cool and breezy but nice enough for the kids to play in the sand and water. Penny wasn't feeling well that day and slept on the beach. We stayed in Watsonville for a night where avocados cost 11 cents. The next day we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was super expensive and super crowded but cool to see all the fabulous fish!
We also went to the Dennis the Menace park in Monterey and the kids loved that. Then we went to a tide pool area and the kids got to climb around the rocks and see lots of live crabs. Sarah said that was the coolest part of the day.
We spent another fun day at Pinecrest lake and Emily and Richard came. The weather was great but the water was pretty cold. Everyone enjoyed the ice cream at the end of the day.
We also got to experience the 4th of July in Turlock. The kids enjoyed sparklers and front yard fireworks with their cousins. Stephanie and Jose brought some big fireworks too.
