Like they always say...
Time flies when you are having fun!
We can not even believe that our time in Monterey is half way over. It has gone by so fast! We have been very busy but having lots of fun. Work is going so well. I absolutely love home health and have already asked to continue with that setting in our next placement. I don't know if it is just the clinic we are at here, but it is so nice to see only around 5 patients per day versus the 14 we were seeing back at home in the outpatient setting! Work has just become so much more relaxing and has really given us some time to enjoy life which was kind of the point of this whole traveling experiment anyway!
We found a great gym here and Jason has been busy playing lots and lots and lots of racquetball, of course:) Its not that interesting to go to the gym everyday, but one day I saw this guy as I was walking in and thought to myself "only in Carmel..."
He was gone by the time I left, otherwise I might just taken him home as a new friend for Dwight and Stanley!
DeeDee (Jason's mother) got married to Jim on August 28th in a beautiful wedding at the Moreda's dairy in Petaluma.
She looked absolutely amazing...
And the weather was perfect... (we needed some sun with all the summer gloom in Monterey)
And the view was amazing as well...
Congratulations Jim and DeeDee!
Congratulations Jim and DeeDee!
On our car trips back home for one reason or another we have been stopping a lot in Gilroy, the garlic capital of the world. They have over 100 outlet stores there (including the Forever21 outlet), and for food, its not garlic we stop for... it is Sonic Drive In!! We had fun ordering and getting our food from a server on skates!
The food was just ok, but it was the ambiance that kept bringing us back!
We did a little bit of sightseeing and went to Cannery Row in Monterey. It reminded us of Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco but with a nicer beach in the background.
I have had some interesting changes as well...
My hair!! No, its not the end of the world that I am a brunette now;) I went to a super fancy hair salon in Carmel to get my highlights done, and I guess super fancy does not always correlate with super talented because somehow my hair got turned orange! Not a good look with my coloring... Well, I decided to just keep it easy, and with all the other changes going on I might as well use some... ready for it??? Box Dye!! Sorry Heidi!! I dont think it looks too bad though, I think I will keep it for awhile!
BTW, look at the "interesting" painting that is on the wall in our bathroom. We continually question the decor in this place. A little creepy, don't you think?
All in all Monterey (really, I should say Carmel) has been good to us. We have not had time to do much more sightseeing (we have not even seen Big Sur yet!) but are planning to do all that fun stuff once we have visitors later this month! The countdown to our next move is now on!
Ill close with a few more pictures to brag about our living situation...
The gates at Carmel Valley Ranch... The people who work the gates are so nice, every time we drive through, without fail, we get a smile, a wave and a cheery "welcome back!" It's pretty nice to be welcomed home every time! I'm sure where ever we move next something is just going to be missing...:)
The golf greens and club house... Too bad we really can't use it because its private!! But it is a beautiful view anyway... Our house is just off to the right of the picture
We have not found out where we are going next but are hearing whispers of the Lone Star State. Im going to get out my cowboy boots, teasing comb and red lipstick! Pictures to come!
