I made a random trip out to California in Feb. I realized after looking at the calendar that I should just go if I wanted to make a trip sometime before the summer. So I got a free ticket and went. It was great!! The first week I spent with Chris and Kim in there great new house. It was really nice to just be able to hang-out with them. My highlights were lunch with Chris, hanging out with the gang on Fri & Sat, and Mexican dinner on Sat. So great. I got the opportunity to spend the day with Cynthia and Sebastian as well which was so wonderful and fun.

On Sun my parents came down and Chris cooked a great breakfast. We then went for a walk in the sunshine. Afterwards we had a birthday celebration with lots and lots and lots of wonderful strawberries!! I just love strawberry shortcake.


The next week I spent up in Sebastopol. It was wonderful weather. The highs in the 70s (20c) and sunny everyday! Mom and I went to the movies, and I went to they gym with her a couple of times. Also went swimming my dad and got to see the crazy underwater water hockey! It was so great to finally see it. It looks like a crazy hard sport, go dad. I got to see friends and caught up on all the shows. During the weekend we went for a nice long walk, to the crab feed, and then on Sun to celebrate my actual birthday day, we went for breakfast in Healdsburg and then up to Fetzer for their wine and choclate celebration. It was a perfect day with lots of sun, good wine, chocolate and strawberries again!! Such a great trip.
