Carmel-By-The-Sea

We arrived to Carmel and decided to adventure out into the town...

Karina had to much fun yesterday... So most of today was spent in this position...

And here she is again... Come on Karina, your spoiling the fun for everyone else...

Karina is with grandma and grandpa...

Chris had to reminisce of the good ole days with them... LOL

Here's what my monkey does best...

During this photo shoot, Chris was in the public restroom...

I know you really wanted to know that...

Show a kid a toy shop...Not just any toy shop and Christmas toy shop...

We couldn't get her to leave...

We walked a little down the sidewalk to see what she would do, when she turned around cause we called her three times and she wouldn't come..

Well She still didn't turn around...

Gosh, didn't work to scare her and teach her to stay with us...

Benton had us go through a few passageways... I loved them... It would be so neat to have a house that had them...Very well kept up...

If only Goliath came with us... Loved this sign...

Time to stop and throw in some pennies... The kids I think took all our change....

Good times for them...I think a few wishes made too...

And once again... Karina doing what she was doing best...

Just all of us walking through town, checking out all the local shops...

Um yeah.... That's all I can say... This car was owned by a women named Clo

We stopped and talked with her, her husband just bought her this 2011 Ferrari California...

Its sad when you have a sports car, base model priced at $250,000. and you cant tell us anything about the car...

Walking to the park...

Henry and I had something in common today...

Can you figure it out...

hahahaha

Smile monkey...

This is what you have to do when you hold a parking spot...

Hurry up Chris... Not allot of people like it when you do this...

waiting, and waiting and waiting...

Now this is my other monkey...

Chris do you need a banana...

You know in life its good to stop and smell the flowers sometimes...

Karina, thanks for setting a good example....

We were on the Scenic road...

Flower time... again...

The way down to the beach we never stepped foot on....

This is what it looks like when you attempt to take a photo.....

Karina was being the photographer for the Collin's...

She did a great job...

Silly times with my two monkeys...

My turn....

I love all these homes in Carmel...

Chris when our we retiring

John Robinson Jeffers was an American poet, known for his work about the central California coast. Most of Jeffers poetry was written in classic narrative and epic form, but today he is also known for his short verse, and considered an icon of the environmental movement. Jeffers was married and moved to Carmel in 1913 where he constructed Tor House and Hawk Tower.

We tried to get a 1 1/2 tour

but when they only allow 6 on the tour and having cranky children...

Didn't work out..

But still nice to see this place...

All credit to Benton Collins...

we would of never seen this place...

We soon left Carmel and started our journey back home...

Stopped and enjoyed lunch for the first time at Chipotle...

And a few hours later our vacation came to a end...

And once again had a great time, a new adventure and wonderful memories...
