The drive to Monterey was lovely. The Sun was out and the rolling hills had only a little fog in a few places. We knew we had arrived when we could see and hear the breakers crashing on beach below us over the freeway noise!


We had a very leisurely walk with the pups on the two piers there and did a little shopping....more cute stuff for Emily! The best dressed baby we know!!

After a leisurely lunch with Brett we took a drive through Monterey stopping and every lookout to 'ooh and aah' at the crashing surf....and the surf WAS crashing. The weather types have been predicting really large surf and it certainly looks like they were right!

Up this morning to see Marg off on her trip back to winterland then the two of us commenced the herculean task of putting away and re-organizing everything we had dragged out of hiding over the last two months!

There are errands and haircuts and some socializing tomorrow then on Wednesday we hope to be on our way to the sun! First day just get the motorhome out...which is more of a problem than it sounds! And then on to Bakersfield to stock up on oranges and almonds. As well as get tanks filled that should be filled and emptied if that be the case!!

We will then head on Thursday to Quartzite where we will see in the 2010 with friends.

There's a whole bunch of photos now on Flickr if you want to see what we've been up to!
