Finally, as we approached Big Sur the sun came out and it was gorgeous! We stopped at the amazing restaurant Nepenthe and enjoyed the grand view over some wine and appetizers. It turned out to be glorious day and made the long drive there and back totally worth it!
This last weekend we drove down Highway 1 to Big Sur. My wife and I had driven this route several times together and were always left amazed by the beauty of the rocky coastline jetting into the ocean! Sadly, the day was overcast and the sparkling blue waters were a murky grey instead. It was still beautiful though - but in a different way. We drove the majestic roads and got some fun photos along the way.

When you have a nice car, driving further to places doesn't feel so bad. It's an adventure. My wife and I like to read together and so I thought why not go all the way to Santa Cruz. West Cliff Drive is a gorgeous spot to enjoy the sunshine and ocean. And that's just what we did!
We took it to Half Moon Bay and drove down Highway 1. We pulled over at one scenic spot and low and behold there was a red sting ray! I couldn't believe my eyes - I had to check it out and get a photo. My wife laughed at me and photographed me admiring it.
Right after I bought it - I wanted to get some good photos of it to show my family in Alabama. I cleaned it up and we went on our first road trip to Monterey and got the following photos.
Now with my new corvette - I wanted to drive it everywhere! I wanted to go on a road trip! But work prevented my wife and I from taking it too far. We did take it for a short spin to a nearby park and got these photos.
When I finally had my day off, I couldn't wait to get my car cleaned up. I detailed it and all of a sudden everything looked shiny & new. Who knew that cleaning a car could be so fun!
After the car was totalled - I began the process of searching for a new car. Amazingly my wife said I could look into corvettes. We didn't want to spend much money so I just started looking to see what was available. Soon after I found one that looked real nice but it was 4 hours away from where we lived.
I started communicating with the owner and everything about the car sounded good! I wanted to go see it and check it out in person. So that weekend, my wife and I drove 4 hours north to where it was and I fell in love. The car looked awesome! Shiny and beautiful! It looked brand new even for a 1998. I took it for a nice test drive and talked it over with my wife and not long after we made the deal and it was mine! I liked my car but it was something I couldn't really show off to people. I got my Lexus LS 400 before starting nursing school when I just needed something safe and reliable. It was a good car and it served me well until the day I got rear-ended.
It was a loud crash! I wasn't expecting it at all. All of a sudden I was sandwiched between two BMW's - thankfully the man who rear-ended me took all the blame and their insurance company agreed to pay for my repairs. However, the repairs were more than my car was worth and just like that my happily working car was declared totaled. My wife and I were distraught. What would we do? How could we make lemonade out of this lemon. We prayed for an answer and God provided.... |
