Family Time

lots of exploring here. What a fun place to live. Everyday there are new things to do, place to hike and explore. My Dad is here now visiting and we are doing new things each day. Here is a shot on the 18th green of Pebble Beach golf course. Tomorrow whale watching!

Blackout

SO the big news here is that we have decided to do without TV for the 18 months that we are living here. We will see how it goes. I don't think that kids will care too much. We were never big Tv watchers and out here you have to have sattalite service and it's expensive. We got a Netflix subscription and we will see how life changes. I don't think that there is anything on TV that I can't live without. I am not against TV or anything I just think it will be a good opportunity to find other things to fill our time with. Espessially here where there is so much to do. We went down to Cannery Row yesterday and it was very nice. It looked like a great place to have a date night if we ever find a babysitter out here. Bubba is finishing up a week at camp. He did not love it. It's been hard for him to adjust out here and make friends. He thought it would be instant but school is still in session out here and the kids are few and far between during the day. It will get better but it's a bumpy ride.

17 mile Drive

we took a much needed break from unpacking and went for a drive.... Sea Lions, Seals and whales were waiting to greet us to California. It's gorgeous here!

house

We are having a hard time with the housing out here. We were offered a very small 1400sf duplex on the base here. We also found a much bigger 4 bedroom house off the base but it's not available until July. I am having a hard time imagining life in  a hotel for a month.  But 1400 sf would be teeny weeny for us. we have to decide today because our truck comes tomorrow and our stuff either  needs to go to storage or we move into the tiny house.... decisions decisions.....
