Monterey Weekend

I was honored to be picked by my friend, Tina (http://www.tinacareymusic.com), to serve as her Powerpoint girl as she led Worship (Band name: Watergirl), for the North Conference Baptist Women’s Retreat.

There were about 500 women, and aside a few  technical difficulties, the conference was amazing!

This is Watergirl after the session the first night.  All of these women are from different churches throughout the Bay area…
L-R: Cleo, Jane, Tina, Sue, Sondra, Stephanie

Tina and me

We had a little free time on Satuday and went to Pacific Grove for lunch.  We had a terrific lunch at the Red House Cafe.  I am glad we ate out on the covered porch, because this little place would not have been able to handle this spirited group of women!  We shared desserts, and my fave was the chocolate cream pie (picture below.) YUM!

Full bellies after lunch…

On Sunday, after the retreat was over, we enjoyed another terrific lunch at Patisserie Boissiere in Carmel by the Sea.  Wow, all I have to say is that I definitely need to return and explore this lovely little town.  I wish we had more time to explore it.

    Leigh,

    You are simply one of the most amazing women that I have ever met. It was an HONOR having you at the retreat and "sharing" a bed with you! Hee Hee!!! Thank you for the pics and the blog. Our time with you was as special as you say your time was with us. The feeling is mutual! I look forward to our paths crossing again. Yes, I am still trying to work off the Banana cream pie, midnight snacks, and oh….all of the goodies at another retreat I just left las weekend.Oh My!!

    Till next time…..:-) Cleo!
