Nothing like a little shopping to brighten your day

We had a very good day.

We drove to Marina to do some shopping at Walmart.  Though it was 10:00 in the morning and only three days before Christmas, the store had very few customers, which really surprised us.  It has a full grocery, but isn't as large as most Super Walmarts, and has the best layout we've ever seen.  We liked it a lot, and we are not big Walmart fans.

We then returned to a shopping center in Monterey and bought a bunch of dog treats at PetSmart, a small bath rug at Target and found a new pair of boots for Nancy at Payless.  They remind me of pirate boots and are very cute.

After lunch we took Sadie to El Estero Park.  In Spanish estero means a large lake near the sea, which is precisely what sits right in the middle of the park.  It is a lovely spot and perfect for long, leisurely walks.  The Spanish built the original Presidio of Monterey here right beside the lake.

Later, on our way to do some wave watching, we stopped at Lover's Point in Pacific Grove long enough for me to get my photo of the day.
