Monterey

We had Monday off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, so we decided to head over to Monterey.

Miki and Melissa did some letter boxing. Tyler and Cole liked looking for "treasure".

We played on the beach some, too.

And we watched the sea lions basking in the sun.

Masuda New Year Celebration

The Masuda side of our family got together to celebrate the New Year at my Auntie Sue's house. It's always fun for the cousins to play with one another.

Santa Cruz

We love to go to Santa Cruz to get clam chowder at Stagnaro's. Tyler and Cole always love to feed and chase the birds.

And, of course, watch the sea lions.

New Year's Day

We always celebrate New Year's Day at my mom and dad's house for a Japanese brunch.

Miki brought Bella since she was house/dog sitting.
