Asilomar is a little beach community near Monterey. We stayed at the conference grounds designed and built by Julia Morgan (hearst castle). It is a beautiful place right off the beach but we found out it was not the right place for us -in many ways. No fridge in the room for Anjali's milk, walls with no insulation (neil had to drive her around at 3am so that we would not disturb our neighbours with Anjali crying). We needed a vacation after our vacation! we drove into Carmel on our way back and happened to catch a car show. The weather was perfect the beach was really nice and kid friendly. All in all it was a good little compensation for the stress we had endured in the past 2 days.
