28 Years

This past Sunday was our 28th wedding anniversary. The above picture is Julie and I celebrating at Lover's Point in Pacific Grove. We had planned on going kayaking, but we arrived at the place too late. So we ended up at Lover's Point. Makes sense. Right after we took this picture we went to dinner just across the street at Latitudes. The interesting thing took place when we were having dinner. Four tour buses drove by.

You might not find that interesting, but Julie and I did. The reason is we have never lived in a city where people came to see us in tour buses. It is like we are the attraction. Actually not Julie and I but the whole Santa Cruz/Monterrey area. We are living in a destination location. People actually take some significant time to visit this place. Wow, that means that I am not the tourist, but the native.

Exciting Morning

This morning I had coffee with Tom at 6:30. I got my coffee, sat down and entered into converstion with a buddy when I got a call from Julie telling me that the alarm was going off at the church and the police were called. So, Tom and I saw this as an opportunity to apprehend some criminals as well as take a ride on our motorcycles into Santa Cruz. We got on our bikes and headed to CLC. When we got there the police were doing the thing they do when they enter a building such as yelling at the person who could be inside. They found a side door open. I think a homeless person spent the night in our building. Since t was an awesome morning Tom and I made our way to West Cliff to take in the surfers. It was a beautiful morning. I couldn't resist taking the below shot of a surfer taking a nap on his surf board right by warning sign.

WHAT'S ON HIS IPOD?

 

I have really been enjoying the Olympics this time around. Every night I come home and am really anxious to see what is on the tube. Each night staying up late to watch the gymnastics, beach volleyball, and swimming. Probably the number one phenomenon of the Olympics is Michael Phelps. I have learned that he wears a size fourteen shoe and he will win 1 million dollars from Speedo if he gets his seventh gold medal tonight. But what I really want to know is, "What does he listen to on his ipod?" Every time up to the final minute of the race he has his ear buds in and listening to something. Does anyone know what he listens to?

THE ABBEY

I have been hanging out lately at a new coffee shop located at Vintage Faith Church. It is called The Abbey. Check it out.
