May 16-18, 2008 - Monterey, CA

Got a wake up call from our friends, Bob and Jackie, who said they were on their way to meet us at the Inn for breakfast. We had a great visit with them and had lots to talk about since we had seen them last. We did a little gambling after our breakfast and then said our good byes. Drove over to Angela’s to pick up some things and then said our good byes to all of them. On the way to Monterey, we stopped to buy some artichokes at Pezzini’s. The artichokes were freshly picked and were a good size. Arrived at the Navy Lodge in Monterey around 4:00 p.m. It was 80 degrees and I had planned on the weather being much cooler. So Larry and I went to Macy’s so I could get a cooler top to wear to the graduation the next day. That evening we had a BBQ across from the lodge under a big Oak tree. There were about 35 people, all relatives of Sean and Christa. It was fun to see everyone - almost like a family reunion.

Sean and Christa’s graduation was at 10:00 a.m. It was a gorgeous sunny day. It didn’t get too hot which was lucky for us since we were all sitting in the sun for a couple of hours. Christa graduated Cum Laude and with Honors of Distinction. We went to Lattitudes after the graduation and had a very nice lunch and I forgot my camera. The restaurant was located right on the water and the view was terrific. Doug and Lorie did a really nice job organizing it all and decorating all the tables. We were very proud of Christa and Sean and wished them well in their future endeavors.
