Eric called me at work on Friday afternoon and asked if I wanted to go look for sharks in the Farallon Islands at 6:00 the next morning.  He knows a guy who runs trips out there who had had some cancellations.  I eventually came to realization that the opportunity was too good to pass up.  We only caught a few glimpses of great white sharks, but we did see quite a few humpback whales on our way in.  Floating around the Pacific isn’t a bad way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

(Thanks again Eric!)

Mandy, Monica, Wuy and I spent a week at Bay Lake with my folks.

Dan and Ilana got married in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Check out Eric’s gallery for lots more photos.

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.

Chris, Jamie and Mia spent a couple of days with us. These photos are from the SF zoo.

Mandy and I went camping at Butano State Park.  There were redwoods, banana slugs, and campfires.

Mark and Moe came out to SF for a surprise visit for Monica’s birthday.

We spent a weekend in Steamboat with Mandy’s folks, Sam, Unchu and Margaret.

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.
