Evo Conference: A Food Workshop
One of the highlights of the EVO Conference was the fantastic 4 hour food workshop held on the Friday over lunch at Lookout Cabin.
During this workshop, we enjoyed a fabulous lunch outdoors with the most spectacular view, we then participated in a hands-on cooking class with award-winning Executive Chef John Murcko and a food photography class with amazing food photographer Helene Dujardin of Tartelette.
To get to Lookout Cabin, you need to take the orange bubble express. It's about a 20 minute ride to the top of the mountain, but on the way back down, the view is breathtaking.
Can you see the large building in the center of the shot? That is The Canyons resort where the conference was being held.

Lovers Point Beach Day
Thursday was a beautiful day. A perfect day to head to the beach with good friends.
Lovers Point is one of our favorite beach spots in Monterey. There are two little coves. We prefer the one further west, toward the rocks. The one closest to the road has more sand and calmer water. The one we go to has great tidepools at low tide. There are more waves and you need to keep a closer eye on the kids, but there's a perfect vantage point to watch the surfers and kayakers and for spotting sea lions out in the water. The kids love exploring between the rocks for hermit crabs and starfish. Above the cove is a fantastic park for having picnics, there is a beach volleyball court, bathrooms, and you can take a walk along the coastal recreation trail back toward the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row; which is exactly what we did on our last day trip to Lovers Point.

Looking for a fun activity to do with your children this Spring? They will love this one.
Spring is in the air. Flowers are blooming, the ground has a lovely blanket of green over it, and the birds are chirping.
