We're up in Burlinghame visiting with George and his family. Here the kids are having fun in the hot tub. Zachary and Gabe have a great time together, and when all the girl cousins can get together, it's always a thrill. Nick doesn't like to go anywhere without his mask and snorkel. Trouble ahead.

It's a beautiful day on the drive home down Highway 1 to Santa Cruz. These photos are just north of Pigeon Point, and by Big Basin state park. This has always been a big windsurfing and handgliding spot, but the kite surfers are a new thing. Gabe's thinking, one day that'll be me.
