Our last weekend in Monterey . . .

Well, the time has come. As of this friday, we will no longer be living in California.
This was our last weekend to enjoy some of the beauty only Monterey has to offer so off we went.

Friday we went to the beach. The girls had a blast and it was perfect weather!
Saturday was our big adventure day. We started out just heading down to Big Sur to see the waterfall and such.
The drive on Hwy 1 is amazing. If you have never done it, you should. We stoped along the way too look at the amazing view.

After we left the waterfall we decided to drive to Hearst Castle. What an awesome treat that was. At one point on Hwy 1 we were in a ton of fog . . . as we drove out we saw one of the most amazing things. Where we should have been looking @ ocean, all we could see was clouds. We had gone above the cloud bank. I mean, I have seen that from an airplane, but never this close up. I think the most amazing thing about it was you could HEAR the waves crashing but you could not see it. It really freaked out your senses. How awesome to experiance something like that. I have included some of the pix.

We contined our drive down hwy 1 until we got to 46. We just cut across there and headed back home on 101. About the time we got to salanis, we noticed the car was shaking . . . we pulled off on the next exit and into a Black Bear Diner parking lot. When we got out we saw that our back drivers side tire was COMPLETELY flat. UGH . . . just one more thng . . .
Anyways, it was about dinner time so the girls and I went in and got a table. Joshua changed the tire and came in to join us. We had a great meal and got home safely.

That was our adventure!! Here are some of the pix!!
