I'm still hanging out in Monterey this week, working and doing the tourist thing, and thoroughly enjoying it all!  Monterey and Pacific Grove are just so stinkin' cute!  I love that Monterey is very dog friendly (Santa Barbara is too, but we're always pleasantly surprised when other cities are).  Monday we lunched at an outdoor mall where everyone just made the biggest fuss over Bear (oh, you know he enjoyed it!).  To get to the delicious little cafe we wanted to try out, we had to take an escalator...being the proud parents we are, I had the camera ready for Bear's first escalator ride!  And then we dined on clam chowder and sandwiches...I love me some clam chowder!
