Monterey Beach Trip
Nov 5, 2009
This past Saturday Kairos had an awesome time in Monterey (about 2 hours south of Berkeley). For those of you who weren’t there, you missed out! But don’t worry, we’ll have plenty of trips like this!
We kicked off the day with an awesome lunch at In ‘n Out. I don’t think you can ever get tired of this place. Myself, I had the standard cheeseburger (whole grilled onions, extra lettuce/tomatoes), fries and a strawberry shake. Yum! As is usually the case with our church, we totally took over the place!
After filling up with burgers and fries, we all piled into our cars before we knew it we arrived in Monterey. We split up into two groups, one group went biking while the other group played sports on the beach. Biking along 17 Mile Drive was breathtakingly beautiful. Even though we only were able to ride for a few miles, it was nonetheless still really pretty.
One of these days, I think a day trip is in order just to bike the entire 17 Mile Drive. Who wants to come with? 
Back at the beach, a confrontation was brewing. Yes you guessed it, we had another round of Staff vs. Students in a game we’ll call Ultimate Frisbee+Football! This is a game some of the Kairos guys first played back at Berkeley. I must say, the football adds a new dimension to an already awesome sport. It’s okay students, you have years to hone your skills and challenge your friendly ‘ol staff again!
With the sun about to set, we moved to Carmel Beach and had a bonfire! We also fired up those nifty on-the-go grills and had hot links, pineapple sausages, vegetable packs and banana boats galore!
Looks like you guys had an awesome time. I’m sad that I had to miss out :[
it was definitely an awesome day, and I’m sad I had to leave early. One of these days I’ll beat staff before I graduate!
man….sad i missed the trip…heard about the crazy staff vs. student ultimate football games….good job staff
kaitlyn said that she played more sports on this trip than all of the past 10 years combined!!!
oh man kaitlyn… that would explain things…
that was truly an awesome trip! The staff vs students game was close in the beginning, but age and experience proved too much for youh and inexperience. There’s always next time though history would show that the outcome might not change much!
HAHA, trash talking aside, we had a great time and it was awesome sharing stories and singing around the bonfire!
wow amazing pictures! thanks richard for taking pictures for us!
I love outings~ and listening to stories about our staff when they were in college, eating Rick’s perfect fire-roasted marshmallows, yummmmm! For those of you who stayed behind, join us next time!
i think that was the most awesome time I had playing on the beach…it was like this epic battle where honor and respect hung between the old and young…and the old triumphed!
Kaitlyn, my anti-physical-exertion-friend, I am so proud of you! That was the most active she’s ever been in her life. Good job!
