My head is still swirling, but there is much more to come. And I'm happy to report that there was much to be hopeful about (if you don't include global warming ;-)). Much work to do too. Noe wasn't with me on this trip, since it was a super-packed schedule. But I'm SOOO eager to make another trip down there 'en famille'. I think she's going to LOVE it! Rosemary . . .

But sad sad to say I'll bet it wasn't. Thank you for doing this, and writing about it. I remember the aquarium from long ago, announcing to parents and big brother that it was "better than the zoo". I hope Noe was impressed too! When you post more about this I hope to hear you say that what you heard at the symposium was truly hopeful. But sad sad to say I’ll bet it wasn’t.

You read my mind! I'm just catching up on blog browsing and was about to stop and see you. I did get to Carmel Valley--we had a wonderful lunch at Earthbound Farm--but no further south on the coast than Monterey. It, though, was stunning. Good for you for learning more about sustainable foods! Bren . . . You read my mind! I’m just catching up on blog browsing and was about to stop and see you.

There's so much about it. I missed it, but did you actually make it to Carmel? I love that place. It's simplicity makes me happy. Glad to have stopped by. hi stranger! it’s been too long.

I highly recommend Monterey for a trip! And fall is the perfect time to visit, weather-wise. In fact, I'm really looking forward to going back with C&N on vacation. The symposium was wonderful, but I had about 20 minutes outside the whole time. foodette . . . I'm so glad you had a chance to stop in Monterey! Although I'm sorry you had a bum meal. And what an added insult that it was a bad sushi restaurant right on the water. That's the worst, isn't it? I was standing under a pier holding an abalone when I got my hub's e-mail that Robert Mondavi had passed. The news was a bit jarring, although aparently not entirely unexpected. It is the end of an era though. I'd love to hear how your time in Sonoma was! Noble Pig . . . I'd imagine kids go wild in the aquarium. Conveniently, Noe JUST learned to say "fish" last week, so we'll shoot for adding "octopus," "squid" and "jellyfish" by the time we get her to the aquarium ;-). Dana . . .

It's beautiful and the kids love the aquarium! Monterey is one of favorite places to take a quick weekend getaway. It’s beautiful and the kids love the aquarium!

I will put a post up warning against it, but I digress. Anyway, I just had to comment because we stopped here on our drive back to LA from your neck of the woods. We went to the aquarium, which was amazing. I definitely want to go back, and eat some good food this time! Also, I just read that Robert Mondavi passed away - I bet this is big news in Wine Country. I went on the Robert Mondavi wine tour, and it was amazing. Cheers Don’t make the mistake that my hubby and I did and eat at the Fisherman’s Wharf sushi restaurant, Sapporo.

Besides being huge food and drink lovers, both my hubby and son are divers and crazy about everything to do with aquaculture so the allure of Big Sur and the Aquarium are huge for us. I had been toying with the idea of Atlantis in the Bahamas for a long weekend this fall (our airmiles points are mounting up) but now you've convinced me to reconsider Monterey. Thanks for that!
