Beach Fun and Kid-Friendly Dining

After we had "recalculated" our way down to Carmel we needed to stretch our legs and smell and feel the Ocean. A quick drive down to the world famous Carmel Beach was what we needed!!!

Now, after a warm bath and fresh clothes we needed to get some food into our tummies. Where to go???
I had the car loaded with Easy Mac and Cheese and Chicken Noodle Soup but without a microwave this wasn't going to happen.
Finding a kid-friendly eatery in ritzy Carmel is like finding a needle in a haystack! The three first restaurants on Jack's list were:

Le Coq D'or 
Patisserie Boissiere and 
Restauranmt L'Auberge

... I am sure neither of them has Mac and Cheese under $50 a plate on their menu.
Crap, now what?

I searched on my nifty iPhone for kid-friendly restaurants and came across Allegro Pizzaria at the South end of Carmel (this is where the poor people like Lexus drivers and BMW owners go out for supper :)

Now Allegro proved to be an excellent choice for dinner and evening entertainment for my Ls and me.
They give you an all paper table cloth and crayons so you can go wild doodling on the table while waiting for your meal, then they throw two balls of pizza dough on the table for the Ls to play with and on their menu was "make your own pizza" with Chef Hats ... my the Ls were in heaven!!!!















Day One ... done!!!
phewwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
