We flew from Houston to San Jose, CA on April 21, 2010 on a very uneventful flight. Upon arrival in San Jose, the weather was horrible...raining so hard and it was cold! We rented a car with Daddy and Rickey and drove one hour to Carmel-By-The-Sea. We arrived at 166 Spindrift which belongs to David Weekley and his wife, Bonnie. Also with us was George, Leslie, Bob & Diana Borders. The view was spectacular with a wondrous display of God's magnificence on the Pacific Ocean. The waves were pounding and crashing against the rocks. David's house is about 10,000 sq. ft and sits directly on rock by Pacific. It was built about 14 yrs ago. The people from CA were not too happy that "some" Texan was building a "K-mart" house after demolishing a Frank Lloyd Wright's protege's bunker-looking house. There was quite a stir and write-ups in both magazines and newspapers.
We went to grocery store and bought things to have for dinner. Rickey is an awesome cook and she and Diana planned out everything we needed to just stay around the house and enjoy this beautiful home.
Harold and I stayed in David and Bonnie's master bedroom suite. Both Harold and I slept like babies as we heard the waves crashing against the rocks.
