Last weekend, Kyle and I went to Monterey to celebrate our anniversary. We stayed at the Way Station Inn on the north end of town. Although the hotel is by Monterey’s tiny airport, it is very quiet and surrounded by a veil of pine trees. Our room felt like a private bungalow. It’s a good place to stay if you want a hotel that is less touristy and more affordable.

During the rest of the day, we walked around downtown and Cannery Row, looked for otters and seals in the ocean, tasted wine in a wine shop, ate an excellent dinner at Passionfish Restaurant in nearby Pacific Grove, and went to the beach to watch the sun set.

I was disappointed the sunset wasn’t more spectacular. However, while we were there, we noticed a couple wandering near the surf. Suddenly, the man got on his knees and took the woman’s hand. She must have said yes, because they hugged and hugged afterwards. It was adorable.
