Food Scene

The food is delicious, they are kid-friendly (be sure to ask about the treasure chest) and they have a pet friendly patio! If you are looking for a nice place without the kids, this place also has a nice bar (with tv's).

This is a great spot to get your morning coffee and a bagel or a pastry. Also a great spot for quick lunch, I love their pizza. They use locally sourced and organic when possible. Their patio is dog-friendly too!

Monterey Bay Aquarium is awesome, the kids and adults had a blast! You can touch sea life, stand under a real wave, and see some of the most amazing sea life. It is about 35 miles from our house (maybe a 45 minute drive) from our house, but a great destination for a day trip, you really can stay and explore all day. If you have time after, be sure to walk around cannery row and check out the restaurants and shops, you really can't go wrong with this outing. Super fun day!
