Monterey Again?!!


Boy it's been a great year for travel! Last week was no exception as we got to go with Daddy on a business trip this time. Every year in Monterey is the Concours d'Elegance - a weeklong invitational car show that is truly spectacular. Even if you're not a car buff, you can certainly apprectiate the cars that are shown all over town that week. During the week, there is a kick off party at the Monterey Jet Center for car and jet lovers to gather. There are displays of all major jets like Gulfstream, Challenger, Lear, etc. and Pilatus has a great set up as well manned by Phil! There are also car displays too like Porsche, Bentley, Ferrarri, and many others I am not familiar with nor are street legal, I'm sure. Sloane got to stay at the hotel for the party with a babysitter while JJ got to roam around the party! I was reminded of a song all night long that George Jones and Tammy Wynette sang a long time ago.... "No, we're not the jet set; we're the old chevrolet set...."
