We decided to take a little trip without the trailer and indulge ourselves with a stay at a pet friendly inn. We stayed in Pacific Grove at the Bide-A-Wee Inn and it was lovely!
During our stay we also dined at the Passionfish Restaurant in Pacific Grove. It is a favorite of Ali and Ross', so we gave it a try. It was delicious!

The weather was unseasonably warm - almost 80 degrees - so this lovely gas fireplace was not needed.

I didn't take any pictures of the ocean this trip, but it was as beautiful as ever. It was Monarch butterfly time however. We visited the Monarch Grove Sanctuary and got some nice pictures.
We didn't know that they actually tag butterflies with stickers. This guy graciously posed for a close-up.
Here is a huge cluster of Monarchs hanging on some Spanish moss.
The docent told us that the butterflies will open up and take off when the temperature reaches 55 degrees. It was almost that warm, but our necks were tired from looking up so much so we opted to leave before they disbanded.
