Mark turned 60 on February 3, although he tried to keep it a secret. But the day couldn't go unrecognized, so we took a weekend trip to Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur to celebrate. We stayed at the Zen Suite in the Redwoods, a part of the Wellstone Retreat Center. Although we ran into foggy weather as soon as we hit the coast, we didn't let the gray dampen our moods. As with so many of our trips, it was at least in part a reconnaissance trip. So many places to explore!

We took a drive down Big Sur and into Camel. We decided that on a return trip, we need to hike along the shore. Anyone want to join us??
We ended the weekend with a sunset stroll along the beach at Santa Cruz. Happy 60th, Mark!
Happy Birthday, Mark!
