Swarley Stinson Rose!

It has been great to be home for the summer. One awesome thing about it was that I was able to go to the surplus auto auction in Davis. As soon as I laid eyes on this car I loved it! I honestly didn't have much hope that I would actually get it, but we bid on it and....I got a car!!! So this is my ford focus wagon.

With a little tune up he's running like a champ and I totally love this car! It took me a little while to decide on a name for him. But after help from my friends, trying it out, and a final vote from Mary!... I decided on Swarley Stinson Rose. For those who don't know the name comes from How I Met Your Mother. And I think the car is worthy of the AWESOMENESS its name expects of it. :)

Monterey

I'm home for a couple months for the summer and Taryn has been home too this past week. We took a little overnight trip to Monterey. The day we got there it was cloudy cloudy cloudy so we just looked at the beach a bit in our jackets then went on the 17mile drive. It was a nice drive and we saw some cool stuff.

Taryn and me before the wet coastal air made our hair crazy.

And along the coast.

The lone cypress.

I was the one driving and during the drive I saw two young bucks(deer not boys) on the side so I pulled over quick and snapped a shot.

We stayed in an awesome bungalow at The Sanctuary Beach Resort. It was really nice and we had a great beach view.
And maybe my favorite part was the robes in the room! Oh and the fact that we got our own golf cart to drive around!

Day 2 was sunny so we got some beach time and we stopped at Phil's Fish Market for lunch.

I'm only a little burned and I enjoyed our time there.
