Eric just finished his first quarter finals, which means we went about 2 weeks without seeing each other, but now we are enjoying his first week-long break. It's fabulous to actually have some time to hang out and do some fun things together. We've been able to relax, catch a movie, see some more of San Francisco. We also decided to take a quick trip down to the the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and then hit Monterey Bay the next day. The Santa Cruz Boardwalk was pretty awesome. We played miniature golf (and I have to mention that Eric got the hole-in-one at the end for the free game, I swear he does that every time) and some arcade games. Then we ate ice cream while we laid out on the beach. It was nice to be on a hot beach again; cold beaches just aren't the same.
We stayed at a cute little Inn in Monterey that night and strolled along Cannery Row. We ate at a great seafood place called Louie Linguini's and then (as full as we were) went to Ghirardelli's for a fudge brownie sundae. So good.
We’d recovered enough the next day to go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. The weather was just perfect. It’s a great place to visit. Seeing all the sharks and stingrays reminded me why I like to hang out on the sand and get tan rather than scuba dive….

You guys are so cute!!! Looks like you have been having fun this week. Hey thanks again for watching Carter. Were still thinking of a way to repay you. We really appreciated it. Enjoy your weekend.
Looks like fun. Hey, you probably didn't even notice this, but there was a volcano erupting behind you in one picture. You're lucky you were safe!

Hey Joanna! This is Brandi (Zierenberg) Cotton! I added you as a friend on facebook the other day but wasn't sure you would know who "Alan Cotton" was. Anyway, I've been trying to find you for FOREVER! Since we've been expecting, the name Joanna was on our top 3 list for girls! It made me think of you often... singing lessons, girls' camp, dances, etc. Haha! Anyway, we had to scratch Joanna off the list since we're having a boy as well. Anyway, congrats on your little boy next month! So exciting!
You and Eric look great! I heard forever ago that you got married. Tell him I say hello! And tell your family I say hello as well.
