Our first weekend here in Dublin, my family was out to go to my cousin's wedding reception (who lives close) and to see us. It was so fun to have them here with us! (Especially since we didn't have ANYTHING for a few days). We did the reception at my Aunt and Uncle's, went to church together, watched the Olympics at their place, and then Monday we all drove down to Monterey Bay to go to the huge Aquarium they have there. It was awesome!
They had these huge frames with these jellyfish aquariums in them! Tom--you need this for your house as a wall decoration!
Then we drove out to Carmel on the "17-mile road." This is a scenic drive that wraps through Pebble Beach Golf Course and millionare mansions along the way. It was incredible! The houses were breath-taking and the golf course made Ben want to cry:) Jk. 
We stopped for a while at one of the beaches and explored, found crabs and star fish.
My cute family:
Ben found some kelp:
There were hundreds of birds and all these sea lions out on the rocks barking and splashing around--it was so cool!
It's not often you get to see a living being that's 250 years old. This famous tree, the Lone Cypress, was a sapling when California was a Spanish colony in the mid 18th century. And still today, there it is, standing tall. Cool huh?
