Big Sur Marathon

Angie and Darren ran the marathon. This is listed as one of the top 3 marathons to run so Darren was anxious to cross this off his list!

Here is the start. Also, very pretty, it begins in the Redwood forest.

Darren feeling pretty good along the course



Monterey, California

Darren and I went to Monterey the Last part of April 2010 so Darren could run the Big Sur Marathon! This is Cannery Row where there are some little shops. We shopped around and had to get a little yogurt! Although the whether was a little colder than we expected! I never took off my jackets, and I soon learned why all the stores sell sweatshirts! Northern Cali is a little cooler especially near the water!


Many of the restaurants had samples of clam chowder as you walked by. After 3 or 4 we ended up here at the Old Fishermans Grotto for some seafood and pasta for the runners.


This is Bixby Bridge. Such a pretty drive and a great marathon course. Most of the race is along the coast with amazing view like this!


Angie and I at Pebble Beach golf course




Living Planet Aquarium

A fun activity for everyone is the aqauarium. It seems to meet the needs of all ages and it is so close we often go on Holidays and breaks!

Always more fun with cousins!!









Ice Skating

Zach went ice skating with the YM and my kids thought it sounded like so much fun that we went for Spring Break!

Not as much fun for me holding up Makenna!


IAlec thought it was one of the best activities he has done in awhile



Brooklyn balanced pretty good for her first time
