Itinerary 3/11-3/15

We just arrived to Monterey yesterday, we are here through the 15th for vacation. Can anyone give input on our itinerary?

This is a loose plan; mainly just a list of ideas for each day, with the exception of Aquarium on Tuesday and Point Lobos/Big Sure drive on Thursday - we are pretty firm on those plans due to the weather forecasts for those days. I am wondering though, is it too much to try to hike around at Point Lobos and drive down the coast in one day? Appreciate any insight! Would also love guidance on any must-go places for lunch & dinner. We usually just fly by the seat of our pants for meals; I understand it can be challenging to do this as opposed to having pre-scheduled reservations.
