Gone Fishing.....

On Monday the 13th we left for Monterrey to go camping and deep sea fishing. We went earlier than everyone else and found a great campsite. The campground we stayed in was small and quiet. Greg, Diane, Adam, Sandy, Ethan, and Shane met us there a few hours later. We stayed two nights. We had a lot of fun camping, fishing and playing. The best part was cooking some of the fish for dinner on Tuesday night. It was DELICIOUS!

I was the only first timer of the group, everyone else had been deep sea fishing before. Sandy and I kicked butt! We had the best luck! Brian got sick towards the end and quit fishing for a little while, but came back strong after her felt better. Adam caught a few fish before he got real sick and ended up staying in the cabin the rest of the time. Greg kept catching little bitty fish, but finally started catching bigger ones at the end. We went home with our limit, which was 10 fish per a person! 50 fish!

This was my first catch of the day and my Biggest!

This guy was awesome! He helped me out a lot! He also flayed our fish for us on our way back. He just stood their cutting up the fish without ever swaying! While the rest of us had a difficult time walking around! This is mine and Brian's pile of fish.

The Fisherman's Wharf

Eileen and Nick met us Monday night and went to dinner with us at the Wharf. Nick knows the owner of the Old Fisherman's Grotto, so we went there for some Clam Chowder. We ended up getting free appetizer's because of Nick, which was yummy calamari and artichoke!

All the girls received yellow roses when they left the restaurant.

Playing on the Pirate ship.

The beach

Before we left for home on Wednesday. Brian and I decided to take Ellie and Tanner to the beach to play. The weather was great! It was a bit chilly, but it sure beat the horrible heat that we were heading back to!
