Dan-O-Rama Weekend

Our old friend, Dan, came to town on Wednesday. We had a nice weekend with him! Actually, this was the exact time I was to fly out anyway to come visit, but of course, decided to come out earlier.

We started the weekend by camping in the Santa Cruz Mountains from Thurs-Sat. It was the first time Amber & Jason took out their new little camper. We had a lovely time. We then spent the rest of the weekend relaxing, cooking out, playing with Baby Sage, then today we spontaniously drove to Carmel-by-the-Sea, (that's the whole name, or as you may know it as "Carmel."). It was beautiful! It's one of those coastal cities on HWY 1. Some fun facts about it: Clint Eastwood used to be the mayor, still has a house there. Jennifer Anniston is from this town. My favorite photographer, Ansel Adams, used to live there. Pebble Beach golf course is there. My favorite fact: The Cottage of Sweets on Ocean Ave is the cutest little thing I've ever seen! So, if you plan a trip down HYW 1 - stop in Carmel-by-the-Sea!

Here are pictures from the weekend!


Our first camping trip of the summer!


Night 2 of camping.


The end of a great camping weekend! Us in front of the '68 Shasta!


Ocean Ave - Carmel-By-The-Sea. The Sweet Cottage. It was the most precious thing ever. Imagine Willy Wonka inside! It was!


My biggest weakness.


Cute Baby Sage in his bear hat. We had to bundle up in Carmel. It was 57 degrees!


They instigated me to do this, again, for the umpteenth time. :)


Us on the beach.


Ever heard of Pebble Beach? Here she is. (the greens)


Another thing Carmel is famous for, "storybook houses," or "fairy tale houses." These houses were everywhere. I wish I had better pictures. They had crazy, crooked roofs and funny windows. So neat!
