Or, on the #2 Wharf, there is a quaint little restaurant called Sandabs overlooking the boat docks. Very nice to get away from the tourists.
The Monterey Aquarium is special. Best I have been to. Aquarium is right on Cannery Row so there is plenty to see.
There is also a nice restaurant at Lover's Point in Pacific Grove. PG is where masses of Monarch butterflies come to every October. Nature thing!
Lots of boutique shopping in Carmel too. Check out the Green Lantern Inn for a place to stay. Bizarre rooms.
And here is the link to a very special grand view restaurant located between Carmel and Big Sur at

Laguna Seca Raceway is on the road between Monterey and Salinas.
And we live about 15 minutes from NorCal Hobbies. My wife will be in the neighborhood.

That sounds awesome. Its a shame Steinbeck never wrote a travel guide. After reading East of Eden last month, I have a feeling it would have been a best seller. Looking forward to seeing y'all again. You'd think I'd be tired of all this stuff after being born in Stockton and living in Sac for 18 years. I gotta convince the wife to move back somehow though! Tim is never slow to point out what I am missing in CA, lol.
