A few photos from the Monterey Highland Games

My lovely Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess, charming little girl, and I hopped into the convertible and motored down to foggy cool Monterey this past Sunday to enjoy the Monterey Highland Games. Here are a few photos from our trip.

Fairground Entrance

We immediately bumped into our Longhunter74 (aka Jeffrey) and his family

Followed shortly by Scottish Terrier (aka Bill) this of course required an XMTS group shot!

It was a splendidly foggy and cool day, just perfect for tweed!

The wee girl isn't so wee any more and she takes after her Mother in loving bright colors

More to come

Alan throwing the caber

Saying goodbye to Jeffrey, he is being transferred to North Carolina shortly

We will miss having him be part of the Nor Cal Rabble as he is a grand fellow. I'm sure we will meet up with him again

We stopped in Moss Landing for lunch on the way home and thought this would be a good place to take a photo for the "Cars of XMTS" thread. Me and my trusty Brave Ulysses

It was a great day

Cheers

Jamie

Looks like a duck dog herding demonstration to me.

I didn't realize Jeff was moving until you mentioned that to me....it's a bummer to see him go, but I wish him and the family well, and I have no doubt he'll do great in whatever new gig he's assigned to in NC.
