Tony and Karla took a weekend trip to Monterey and Carmel to celebrate Karla finishing her junior year. They had dinner in Monterey on the first night. The next day, they drove along 17-Mile Drive and Tony had chosen two scenic spots to propose, but the weather and crowds prevented it. They then went to a secluded beach that Karla loved, and there Tony proposed to her. They celebrated with a romantic dinner at a restaurant near their cottage in Carmel, where they spent the rest of the weekend relaxing and exploring.
