Greetings everyone,
We celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary in the city of Monterey. Originally, we were hoping that we would be able to do some Geocaching in the Monterey area, as it always takes us to places we normally wouldn't visit. Unfortunately, because of the fact that Dinner required a more dressy attire and that we were over 30 miles from Monterey, we opted to just get dressed up and walk through Cannery row until dinner time. This was a wise decision, cause we were in bumper to bumper traffic almost the entire way from San Juan Bautista to Monterey.
Once we got to Monterey, we spent the majority of the day walking through Cannery Row. When we first arrived, we had a delicious lunch at the Cannery Row Brewing company. This place was hopping on this holiday weekend, but a table for two opened up fairly early in our wait for seating , so we got right in! After lunch, we walked around in some of the stores in cannery row. The Monterey Bay Aquarium had a long line of folks waiting to get in, so it is a good thing we had seen that attraction in the past. After walking around for a while, we stopped and got some refreshments and sat in a patio area watching the Kayak's go by in the bay. It is was nice and relaxing!
Our dinner reservations at a restaurant called the 'Chart House' were for 7:00 PM, however we were done with the crowds at around 5:15 PM, so we went in to see if they could seat us early. They were busy, but able to get us seated at 6:30 which was fine. We just relaxed in the bar until they were able to seat us. We told the Matre de, that we wanted to be seated in a window seat, and wow, what a nice table. It had a great view of the bay. Along with that, went fantastic service and food. If we are ever out in the Monterey area again, we will definitely dine here again!
Tomorrow, we head for home, but this has been a wonderful Anniversary celebration!
Happy Camping! - Eric and Carol -
