Our first stop was Compagno's Market and Deli, a local sandwich shop with excessive military decor? It was delicious and seriously the whole sandwich is such a good deal- $12.50 for a sandwich the size of a large take out tray. No really look at the picture of Jon eating the sandwich. It required two hands to hold HALF of the sandwich. He is eating the other half for dinner as I type this.
Second, we went to Revival Ice Cream because that is what I have wanted to do for almost two years. We got Rose Tea (with cream cheese and white chocolate) and the Bee's Knees (burnt honey, bee pollen, beeswax, and honeycomb candy) in a waffle cone and it was perfect. Other flavors included: Apple Miso, Eucalyptus Mint, and some coconut milk flavor with lots of herbs.
After that, we just hung out at the Monterey public library (the first public library in California! Did you know!?) It was a great library- the clientele was mostly very old and the one guy at the table next to us typed with so much strength, I couldn't stop laughing.
Anyway, we dropped by a few places to pick up groceries- the Wharf Marketplace and one of those "10 artichokes for a dollar!" stands on the side of Highway 1, spending the rest of the drive home brainstorming names for our baby boy.
I am going to miss days like this one when we become a family of three!!
