Day 4...

We went to beautiful downtown Carmel and walked around the quant city. There are shops and art museums lining the streets. We grabbed some food and headed to the beach.

Cute little Soy Boy fell asleep on our way to the beach.

We had a picnic in the park.

We went to a shop that sells the most delicious cheeses ever. You can sample all kinds of different ones. We went with an amazing 7 Year Cheddar and a Cracked Pepper Gouda. We grabbed a couple baguettes and made it a picnic. It was incredible. Are there cheese shops like that in Utah?

I asked Tony the other day why the cheese doesn't go bad after 7 years. He said we would have to ask a cheese expert. So for any and all cheese connoisseurs that read this blog... how does it not go bad after 7 years?

Then it was time to hit the water.

Edie loved eating the sand.

Indie loved letting the sand sift through her fingers.

Tony took the plunge. I honestly don't know how he did it. I got in up to my knees and it gave me a brain freeze so I don't know how he got his whole body in.

He couldn't pass up a chance to swim in the ocean.

Indie accidentally fell into the water and soaked her clothes so she had to ride home in her diapie. I love this picture of her.

That evening we enjoyed a spaghetti dinner out on their patio.

Elly loves spaghetti.

Oh Sweet Sadie

After dinner we headed into town for a farmers market.

I love this picture of you Brookie!

The farmers market was closing down a little early so we just ended up walking around town and around fisherman's wharf. All the restaurants on the wharf offer samples of clam chowder. So we sampled them all and decided where we would go for lunch later in the week. We also tried some Buffalo Calamari. Umm yeah, it was amazing.

Then Brooke and Mike introduced us to Trader Joe's. I had heard of it but never been in one. I discovered one of the most delicious desserts and have been craving it ever since. It was like an oreo with mint ice cream in the center...heaven.

Stay tuned...
