Artichokes, Cheese, and Carmel


So, we took the semi-annual williams' family Carmel trip this past week, but the numbers were reduced to 3 Adults and 1 Child. Admission price? A desire to eat, eat, eat. We off towards Carmel/Monterey.




We took a pitstop in Watsonville, for the "bathrooms"..but more importantly, for the renouned 'fried artichoke hearts'. There is a recommended intake of 3-4; more would be detrimental to health, less would be an appetitive impossibilty. A picture is not provided here because fingers were far too greasy to handle camera taking devices.



We made it to Carmel and walked along the main street (San Carlos) for a little while. We stopped at Bakeries, Candy Stores, Toy Stores, and a little Cheese Shop. We saw a couple of german people and I once again got to speak a little "Deutsch" with people who lived 15 minutes away from Darmstadt (my last area). Refreshing. We sat down afterwards in a little park to enjoy a few cuts of cheese.


We didn't call it a day there, though. Monterey was on the way home, so we stopped, ate some seafood, got some Dippin Dots and then started back home.
A list of foods purchased/eaten:
-mint fudge
-licorice
-peanut butter cups
-carmel discs
-gummi frogs
-cinnamon pretzel
-suger pastry thing
-3 assortments of cheese w/ crackers
-fish (rockfish, crab sandwich, fish 'n' chips)
-Dippin Dots
.
What a day. Thanks Bryce & Christina and Hudson.

  1. That's hilarious because the last time we were in Monterey/Carmel we hardly ate anything but did a lot of hiking/biking/swimming/walking. I'm not passing judgment, I sure wish I was there to eat all that food (did I mention I gained 8 lbs. last month from the Williams food). When are you coming to Santa Barbara! Come SOON!
