Seaside Surprise

After buying the Toyota, we decided to take it for a drive out to the beach. Apparently, so did everyone else on the planet…

Little did we know that those clouds ahead meant a 20 degree drop in the temperature by the time we reached Seaside!

Good day! Gorgeous weather! Great company!
