The Good Stuff

Our first full day at Grandad's was great. It started off with a drive through the foggy coastal morning to have breakfast together at Kozy Kitchen. Then we went to a candy factory and shop called "Cranberry Sweets" that sold candies and such, but also provided lots of samples (I think the lady told us there were over fifty samples to try) and had big glass panes in the back so you could see the area where they make the candy. It was a great little shop. My favorite samples were the fudge and the wine candies. The second was unlike anything I've had before. It was a chewy rectangular candy coated with sugar and tasted like sweet wine. They were so good. We drove back to Grandad's and spent the rest of the day hanging out and relaxing. Then it was time for dinner. Grandad tried out his new deep fryer and we had deep fried green beans and asparagus for appetizers. That was so good. For dinner, we had steak with mushrooms, salad, and freshly made french fries, yum!



Dave, Gayle, and I drove down to a nearby lighthouse after dinner to watch the sunset over the ocean. It was quite a good one.





We finished off the day with a game of four person cribbage.

Wish we could be there with Grandaddy and everyone. Did you try the lemon pie candies? They are my personal favorite!

Mmm, that looks like our view here in Monterey. That chocolate shop down the street is gone though!
