My nephew Hank’s baseball team from Oak Park, Illinois is representing the Midwest in a national tournament in Monterey. Go Hank! Go Oak Park Eagles! So here are some travel suggestions for that lovely city for him and his biggest fans – his parents and siblings:
– The aquarium. Enough said.
– We stayed at the Butterfly Grove Inn in Pacific Grove, just west of Monterey – just behind it is a monarch butterfly sanctuary in a grove of sky-high eucalyptus trees. It’s a fixed up old motor lodge, pale pink with a old fashioned pool. http://www.butterflygroveinn.com/
– We ate at the Old Monterey Cafe for lunch downtown – good omelets, hash browns;
The Monterey Fish House for dinner – very popular local place with wonderful fresh seafood. It’s at 2114 Del Monte Ave;(831) 373-4647
Tomorrow I’ll add suggestions for Big Sur.
