Summer’s Last Trip-- Monterey Bay Area

Image
From August 13-16, my friends, Scotty, Jane, Vanessa, and I took a road trip up to Monterey, California.  During the spring semester at school, while sitting at the cafe, we were in the mood to go to the beach, and an aquarium.  We decided to plan a trip to Monterey.  The perfect location for the beach and aquarium. On Wednesday, we took the long 7 hour drive up to Monterey.  It took longer then it should of because we decided to drive up Highway 1, starting at San Louis Obispo.  It was a very nice drive, but didn't get to enjoy the view alot since the road was fogged in.  Luckly, the fog was passing over the road, so we can drive.  During the drive, we saw 3 Astin Martins, a few farrari's, and a Lambo.  After the nice, relaxing long drive, we finally arrived at our hotel room, in Salinas, which is about 15 miles east of Monterey.  It was the cheapest hotel that we can find in the area.  On Wednsday night, I took everyone to Asilomar State Beach in Pacific Grove, and we chill

Emily’s Visit to So Cal

Emily Cox, a friend of mine that lives in the state of Indiana, came out to visit and live at my place for 7 days this August.  It was an awesome and mostly needed visit, since we haven't seen each other in 2 years.  The last time was at the 2006 CA 4-H State Leadership Conference at UC San Diego. Emily arrived on Monday August 4 th , just one day after I get home from this years State Leadership Conference.  We first head over to my aunt's farm in Yucaipa to help out with a computer problem.  My cuz and I then took her on a tour of the farm, and picked some fresh tomatoes for her to eat.  Afterward, we went to chill at Scotty's house and then had dinner at In-N-Out.  We finally got home, and went to sleep. The next day, we took the 2 hour drive down to San Diego.  First, we went to the World Famous San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park.  After the zoo, we headed downtown to Seaport Village, where we chilled for a while.  Then we went for a drive around Fiesta Island in Mission
