READ FIRST!! California Part 1 - Seascape Resort Pics

We're back! We got home last night and are in full relaxation mode today (minus the annoying annual Dream Cruise issues)..We survived our first vacation with a 1 year old! It was a great vacation to the West Coast and....warning..... we took lots of pictures so here it goes:



Our first stop was Monterrey, California where we drove about an hour out to Aptos, California to "Seascape Resort" for the Gurin family reunion. You'll see me taking my first plane trip (in my pj's cause it was a very early start for us!), some shots from our room, and some beautiful pics of a sunrise walk that mommy and I took on our first morning in California.







Later that day, I stayed with grandma gurin while mom and dad went for a 2 hour "champagne and brunch" cruise on a 70 foot sailboat with some of the reunion clan...

Our tour guide gave us the scoop on how bad we are for throwing out plastic in the ocean. She even busted out some very graphic photos of the damage it causes to our marine-life..as we drank champagne out of plastic cups!! (we brought it up..apparently the plastic was recycled - few!)

California Sea Lions catching some rays. They "yelled" at us as we approached, I think we got too close!

Cleaning up after the day..its been a while since I've bathed in the sink!

The majority of my stay at Seascape was spent attempting to get up the stairs..any how, any way. Mom and dad resorted to blocking the stairs with luggage, chairs, my stroller, a rolling desk, whatever worked...


...in the airport waiting to leave for San Diego. This was literally the only nap I took while in any airport or airplane. It was about 30-45 minutes tops.
