It's been a while! The end of my summer (sad) has been crazy! Since the last time I have posted, we took a short trip to California (Aug 5-10)! It was a lot of fun! We stayed at Drake's grandma's house in Pacific Grove. It was BEAUTIFUL while we were out there. The weather was perfect. This was my first trip to California. We went to Monterey, Fisherman's Wharf, Point Lobos, Point Pinos and Carmel. We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, whale watching and kayaking while we were there. I also had my fill of clam chowder...delicious! Here are a few pictures...

While walking around Monterey, we found Drake Ave.

We went kayaking one morning and saw seals, otters and sea lions up close. The otters were so cute cracking shells. The seals kept popping their heads up out of the water close to us.

Drake and I at Lover's Point. Beautiful view.

This is at Point Lobos. We hiked all through the park.

But unfortunately after we got back to Indiana (It took me a while to get used to the 3 hour time change) I had to go back to school :( I felt like I really didn't have much of a summer since I did camp and tutoring but I am glad we were still able to take a couple of trips! I can't believe school has already started (Monday will be the start of the 3 week!). This class seems like a very energetic one...we will see how this year goes! (hopefully well:) )
