After providing a Feng Shui Consultation near the Monterey, CA, my fiance and I took a day trip to explore the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was pretty cool!! Some of the top highlights: jellies, wave crush tunnel, sea otters, pacific octopus, tentacles, and kelp forest. Also, just walking along the outside of the aquarium provides some pretty beautiful sights.  The only reason I took the photos you see was to post them on the blog. After that, the phone was put away and I STRONGLY recommend you do the same. The benefits you'll receive from just being present with this experience is wonderful.    06/05/2018

This photo was taken a few years ago and I came across it this morning while organizing my photos! What I like about this one is the dark swirling sky and the light of the rainbow. It's hard to know if this is morning or evening. What do you think? 10/19/2013

I go every year...  The Salinas International Air Show, that is of course in Salinas California.  It is kind of North West of Monterey and about 1 hour South of Silicon Valley. We usually get the Navy's Blue Angels, or the Air Force's Thunderbirds (like this year), or the Patriots and sometimes the Canadian SnowBirds. There i always a wide range of things to see and do.  From Monster Trucks, to acrobatic planes of the past and present. If you are ever planning on going next year, I would arrive early and spend the day going through all the planes and exhibits.  Wear sunblock, and don't forget to thank our service men and women for what they do! :) Chris Do you follow me on twitter? @chris_alston How about pintrest? www.pinterest.com/chrisalston Facebook? www.facebook.com/chrisalston    10/15/2012

Yup!  I thought that the wheels on my truck were big...  Then my son and I passed up this moster truck, and the tires were HUGE!  We all know that the trucks are big, but getting up close to the wheels is pretty amazing! So I did not want to pass up the opportunity to have my son climb up into the wheel well and snap this awesome picture! I thought I would take a few steps back so I would be able to remember the size better. We were at the California Air Show in Salinas, CA.  Tons of pics to share, and a great time! -Chris 09/25/2011

History and etymology The region was named for San Benancio Gulch which is the small canyon that forms the majority of the region (book ref). A map dated 1834 lists the region as "Canada de San Benancio". The Spanish name most likely refers to one of four Saints venerated with the name Venantius (site 3). The region was settled, originally by Spaniards San Benancio was the inspiration for "Las Pasturas del Cielo" the fictional setting in John Steinbeck's "Pastures of Heaven". A Salinas native, Steinbeck spent time in his youth within San Benancio specifically "Castle Rock" near the base of the Canyon and accurately described the region in "Pastures of Heaven": ". . . he saw-a long valley floored with green pasturage on which a herd of deer browsed. Perfect live oaks in the meadow of the... 08/07/2010

Today was the Las Palmas Ranch Spring Egg Hunt! And my girls had so much fun! We were the first to arrive so they could scope out the eggs and candy!

http://activerain.com/blogsview/1347678/come-to-las-palmas-ranch-to-live- I am adding a map from the Monterey Peninsula to Las Palmas Ranch. I am asked over and over by buyers that are considering moving to Las Palmas Ranch how far of a commute is to Monterey. As you can see by the map it is just a 15 minute drive..not a commute. Most people drive along highway 68 which connects Monterey to Salinas and is also called the Monterey-Salinas Highway. The altrnate route is to take Highway 1.  Living at Las Palmas is refreshing! There is so much beauty to see along the way. The cows are grazing, the hills are stunning when the light reflects off of them, there are so many kinds of birds..hawks, owls, turkey vultures, you will also see turkeys, foxes, lots of deer..it is a great way to unwind ... 02/06/2010
