A perfectly perfect Saturday exploring our new home!
Sharing Saturday (i.e. free with special activities for kids) at the Pacific Grove Natural History Museum. Grant saw a real Peregrine Falcon- which he is doing a project on for school. The big boys made pinecone bird feeders and got to play in this fabulous nest.
The we walked down to Lover's Point to stick our toes in the Pacific- I can't wait to go back with a picnic
Up next was the Pacific Grove Butterfly Sanctuary. The Peninsula is home to the Monarch butterflies before they mate and migrate so every winter there are thousands and thousands that clump together and hang from the eucalyptus trees. I know the pictures aren't the best but it was amazing to think that what you at first thought were rustling leaves were actually butterfly wings
We ended the afternoon with our first drive down 17 mile drive. We are in paradise and this half hour reminded me both the Norwegian archipelago and the Almalfi coast. Rocky cliffs into beautiful blue water, mega-mansions built into the cliffs, sun shining as we drove through Pebble Beach, Spyglass and Spanish Bay courses, our first glimpse at the famous Lone Cypress... smiles all around!
