Mandy, Monica, Wuy and I hiked around the Marin Headlands on Memorial Day. Even when the weather is crappy and foggy it is amazing up there.

Mandy and I spent the weekend at the Ripplewood Resort down on the Big Sur River in Big Sur. I proposed to Mandy on Saturday on Pheiffer Beach.

Okay, we camped near Point Reyes at Samuel P. Taylor State Park. We spent Sunday hiking around at Point Reyes. Monday we drove back down Hwy. 1 and made a few stops along the way like Stinson Beach and the Muir Beach overlook.

Mandy, Monica, Wuy and I went up to Big Basin to do a little hiking. The weather was beautiful. We ended up with a nice campsite in spite of the park being totally full. Aside from the loudmouths next to us it was great. We went on a nice long hike Sunday on our way out.

Mandy and I joined Monica, Wuy, Brian and Alison for a trip out to the Farallon Islands to do some whale watching. It was a rough ride out but we did see a bunch of whales out at the edge of the abyss.

Mandy and I spent the weekend in Mendocino.

Mandy and I went canoeing with Sara, Oliver and Casper up on Lake Sonoma. Mandy got stung by a bee.

We went to Napa for the day with Brian and Alison.

Kim and Jay put together a trip down to Moss Landing where we rented kayaks and paddled the Elkhorn Slough.
