Here are some pictures of our trip to Monterey last week. We had a great time, seeing all the fishies and having a great fresh fish dinner on the wharf. It is quite a tourist town, but was fun and the weather was perfect. We traveled along the 17 mile road through all the estates worth millions, and along Pebble Beach golf course and resort. They charge $10 per car to drive their road, so that's why they are so rich!! But it was really beautiful. They claim to have the most beautiful views of the Pacific in all of California, and I believe it. The Monterey Cypress grove was amazing. We saw the tree they claim is over 250 years old.
Our ward RS had a garden party, with dinner in a couple's back yard. Perfectly manicured flower beds, a pool and spa, a huge patio. Beautiful. It was very nice. They gave us all a rose. Here's mine:
It's been another good week. I will try and invite all the grandkids to be publishers on our blog so we can hear from everyone.
We enjoyed talking to all our girls yesterday for Father's Day. Hope Rob, Shawn, and Big Dave had a great day also. We sure love you all. Dad appreciated the gifts and cards very much. It's so nice to be remembered by his girls.
We seem to have used most of our 3G of data for our hot spot already, so won't be on much, at least on the laptop, until after July 4th. Don't know what we did to use so much, but there you go. It's kind of a pain to have only that much available each month, but getting the internet here in our apartment is too expensive. So we'll deal with it, and check our phone for posts and emails. Does anyone know if our phone use counts against our hotspot? I guess we'd better call Verizon and talk to them about it! Technology! It's a pain!!
Hope to hear how girl's camp went, Meg, when you get back. Also all about Shalee and Alex's trips. And Caleb and Nate at youth conference. Busy, busy, busy! Hope everyone has a great week.
Dad: Carnac the Magnificent!
ReplyDeleteOkay this is the third time I've tried to post something. Hopefully it works.
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, Love the pics as usual! It was lovely talking to you guys Sunday!
I am not sure if your regular phone usage counts against your 3G but I wouldn't think so. All the photos and especially video you've been looking at of mine did though (sorry). And uploading photos uses some. Do you have your automatic updates turned off, because that would eat a lot. If you're on any website with photos, vids or ads, those should be blocked if you can. You probably know all this stuff, but it is surprising how far 3G does not go these days.
Thanks for the info, T. I didn't know most of that! We'll try and figure out how to block ads and videos, etc. Dad did call Verizon and they were very helpful, even gave us an extra gig for 12 months free! So it pays to "complain".
ReplyDeleteHope we hear from Meg to let us all know about her "Snow Camp" this week. We heard some from Amy, but would like to know more. So glad everyone made it home safely.
I invited all the grandkids to blog so hope they can figure it out and contribute. CAN figure it out????? Hehe. Grandkids - JUST DO IT!!
I love you my family. That's all.
