This was a road trip to visit my Aunt and Uncle in Aptos, California. It was my parents, my sister Monterey, and my Aunt Roma Ann. The first fun stop was to Sequoia National Forest. The trees were so amazing and the forest was so quiet and the trees so grand they demanded respect. I would describe is as a spiritual experience. We went on this trip back in March.

| Where my aunt Phyllis is pointing is to the time of Christ. There are plaques that label different historical events |
 |
| The pictures could not do the size of the trees justice |
 |
| My sister Monterey and my Aunt Roma Ann |
 |
| Roma Ann's daughter in law, Miranda was there with her cute babies |
 |
| This one was 17 feet wide |
 |
| John C Fremont stayed inside this one for one night |
 |
| Mom looking beautiful as always |
 |
| Banana Slugs were everywhere |
 |
| Austin was the cutest, happiest, little guy ever |
 |
| Then we took a drive along the beach in Santa Cruz |
 |
| We stopped at the Santa Cruz pier for dinner and browsing |
 |
| We saw lots of Sea Lions |
 |
| We drove along the coast to Capitola |
 |
| The next day we went to Monterey and the amazing aquarium there |
 |
| The different jelly fish were my favorite |
 |
| We saw a cool, giant octopus. The reflection is kind of cool but not intentional |
 |
| Since my sister's name is Monterey, this was a must take photo |
 |
| We ate lunch at a fabulous seafood restaurant in downtown Monterey |
 |
| We drove the 17 mile drive that includes Pebble Beach |
 |
| We saw the lone tree on the drive |
 |
| We stopped at Carmel by the sea. The beach was beautiful with nice, white sand |
 |
| We visied the Carmel Mission which was amazing |
 |
| Then we went out to Point Lobos and did a hike. It was absolutely breathtaking! |
 |
| And another great seafood meal with my beautiful sister Monterey |
 |
| Moss Landing |
 |
| The blossoms weren't quite out yet but the weeds were blooming beautifully! |
 |
| Moss Landing Marina |
 |
| One of our favorite places to stop was a farmers market in Moss Landing |
 |
| There was lots of agriculture and I especially loved the artichoke fields |
