If you are looking for a top family hotel in Monterey California, the Butterfly Grove Inn is worth your consideration. Children under 18 years of age stay free.

If you visit the area from October through March you can even watch the migrating Monarch butterfly’s as they call the Eucalyptus grove, behind the hotel, their home.

The inn, located at the tip of the Monterey Peninsula, boasts spacious comfortable rooms and cottages to choose from. It is within easy walking distance from shopping, restaurants and a movie theater and much more. There is a park and a beach within driving distance, as well.

Most rooms feature a fireplace, cable TV with HBO, refrigerator and microwave. Park at your door, parking. Continental breakfast, served daily.

Are you going to be visiting coastal San Diego area, this summer? If you have children who will be entering grades one thru nine this fall, you might want to consider sending them to Wild Animal Camp 2008, sponsored by the San Diego Zoo, as part of the trip.

There are 1, 2, 3 and 5-day camps to choose from. So, it would be quite easy for you to incorporate this adventure, into your vacation plans. There are day camps and overnight sessions to choose from, depending on the age of your child.

Instead of simply taking them to the zoo, this summer, let them experience the excitement of actually being a part of it… while learning at the same time.

Sessions include: Animal Extremes, Grossology, The Big Picture, Wild Survivor and Animal Boot Camp.
