Every Labor Day weekend in Monterey is the best festival of the year... that's right, the Greek Festival! Ben has been 3 years now... in utero, 1 year old and now 2 years old. Talk about devotion. Grandma and Grandpa scored big time by choosing to come during the fabulous Greek festival. We walked from Cannery Row to the Old Fisherman's Wharf where the festival was being held, ate tons of incredible Greek food (gyro, souvlaki, spanakopita, greek meatballs, baklava...) and listened to Greek music. Truly a perfect afternoon.
Ben had a great time running around the Greek band but was too shy to go dance since no one else was dancing.
Here, Grandpa and Ben are taking a time out from the festival to look at the gardens of Custom House Plaza. Go figure, Ben is drawn to the fountain...
On our way home, while Ben was napping, we stopped at Taste of Monterey and the Scheid Vineyard tasting rooms for a little wine tasting. Great way to cap off an awesome day!
Oooh I'm so jealous! I was trying to figure out a way to get down there for the festival this year but just couldn't make it work, bummer! Maybe next year, glad you guys had a great time!
