Heat Advisory

Can you believe Monterey was under a heat advisory today? I knew the weather would be warm but I was thinking in the 70's. After preschool today, we went for a picnic to the park. We had to find shade (which isn't typical, we are usually looking for the sun to keep us warm.)

So later in the day, I was complaining to a friend that is was so hot today. She laughed because I am always complaining its so cold. She said her van thermometer measured 88 degrees. I didn't believe it was that hot, Monterey doesn't get that warm. At least it hasn't since we got here. I quickly checked online and the current temperature was 91 degrees. No wonder we were all cranky and hot today. With no air conditioning (we were told that AC is not necessary in Monterey) we have been so sticky, hot, and feeling yucky. Eric didn't want to go to baseball practice. All the kids wanted to go to the beach (that's the thing to do when the temperature gets into the 70's here.) I told them to wait and we'd go tomorrow.

So, next time I complain that I am cold, I will have to check my blog and be reminded that I don't like the extreme heat either. How will I ever retire to Florida?
