Car Sick!?!?

No pictures just words. Last Tuesday the kids and I drove 12 hrs to Salt Lake City. Unfortunetelly we had to spend the night in Elko, NV due to a delayed departure. Darin thought that I should have the transmission fluid changed before I left because it has been acting up. The mechanic said my car is falling apart. I am no longer aloud to drive my out of state without Darin. So we rented a car, PT Cruiser, and off we went. 10 min away from Reno, Colten got car sick from being to low in the car and threw up. He then threw up an hour out of Reno and again after we left Elko in the morning, and again in the Sierra's on the way back home. Good times, good times! We did make it to SLC for my Grandpas 80th B-Day Party and had a great time at a cooking class at the Viking Cooking School that night. We also mad it up to Evanston, WY to see Darin's brother Ryan, and his family; however, why we were there the rental car's windshield cracked! We think it was due to change in altitude, humidity, and temperature (cold ), and poor installation, another $200. Lets just say next time we'll fly! All in all, it was a great trip and I only wish Darin could have come with me to share in the Fun.

Here in Monterey!

We moved to Monterey, CA at the end of May 2009. We put all we could fit in a Penske truck and drove from Augusta, GA to Monterey, CA in TWO DAYS so we could get a nice, new 4 bedroom house; and we did! I forgot how beautiful and perfect Monterey is. It has the perfect weather all year round, and is the perfect temperature all day long. This makes it sooo easy to be out side a lot; and we are.


I bike the kids into town, about 7 miles, to Dennis the Menace Playground, The My Museum, or the Aquarium.
My reward, a Jumba Juice and hopefully sinnyness. Then was bike back home and the kids take a nap, sometimes. We do this about 2 or 3 times a week. We love it here!
