Garlic Festival, Feast of Lanterns and Farmer's Market

Garlic Cook off
OOO Shrimp SCAMPI!! my fav ever

Fresh fresh

First time taking firework pictures....Set your camera on Shutter Priority and sent the speed on 25" or 30". The camera will slow the shutter speed to 25 or 30 seconds and will capture whatever happens in those 25/30 seconds.
Chinese dancers!

We went to the Gilroy Garlic Festival= delish and fun!

We also went to the Feast of Lanterns in PG on Lover's Point and watched a chinese dance and fireworks

And finally the farmer's market in Monterey has been BOOMING lately, with the freshest produce. Soo good

Favorite movie ever...favorite line ever "It's all Happening.."

The Johnston's come into town!

Grandpa Johnston and Aunt Janet come to town. It was a very nice visit. We spent the days exploring Pacific Grove, shopping, Farmer's Markets, going to Big Sur, going to church at the Carmel Mission, eating at Roy's at the Inn at Spanish Bay (17 mile drive) and lots more.

RIP AMY

I was here working the Virgin Music Festival in Maryland 2007. My boss, Martin, was amazed by her voice. I was amazed at her voice. She was very talented.

Our new car

I come from a family history of jeeps. In 1990 my father purchased a Jeep Cherokee Sport and it lasted forever. My mother got a Jeep Laredo in the early 90's and again it lasted forever. I then got my Jeep Cherokee Sport in 2004 and we sold it to move out here. Well it was time to get a new car and we debated between a Subaru or a Jeep. We liked the Subaru Outback and Jeep Wrangler 4 door and Cherokee Laredo. The Cherokee Laredo was spendy so it was between the two. We loved the Subaru, it's great for road trips, having a family, storage, runs well, good gas mileage. The Jeep is bad-ass. Like my dad said, Jeep wrote the book on 4X4. It's fun, a great road trip car, good in the weather... I read a quote that said "The wrangler can leak some water, it's rough on the road, the seats are uncomfortable and the gas mileage isn't great...that being said I will never own anything other than a Jeep." Haha SOOO TRUE! Well yesterday we made our decision, traded in the Honda and got the Jeep Wrangler!! It's all black and really nice. We made sure we got my dad's ok since he's the car expert :) and Joe's mom's dream car is a Jeep Wrangler so it's a good family fun car. Just wanted to say thanks to all our friends and family that said congrats! You guys are the best!
