| As we drove down the highway, you can't help but appreciate the beauty of the California coast! |
This weekend, Laurie and I decided to celebrate our birthdays... with a road trip on the coast. Laurie picked me up from Oakland airport. Just an hour later, we were at the beautiful Half Moon Bay Ritz-Carlton! We had a cottage room for the evening.

| Posing for a picture by the firepit was wonderful. Posing for a picture near the waterline can be a bit more thrilling. Laurie and I were about to get kissed by a wave. Of course, I was closer to the waterline, so was a bit more worried than my fun loving better half! |
Friday evening, we walked around the grounds, had a wonderful meal, and enjoyed a spectacular sunset. The next morning, we got up at a reasonable hour, had breakfast, and then posed for a few pictures, before heading down the coast toward Monterey and Carmel. Our cottage had a nice deck, with a firepit that we both really enjoyed.

| Just can't seem to get enough of the sailboats. |
And finally, I want to offer a small tribute to a family friend who passed away on Friday. Raja has been with us for 17 years. He added joy, laughter and companionship to our family, and will be missed.
