Saturday was beautiful and sunny. I loved it. No jacket necessary. Finally. We headed up to Point Reyes National Seashore after dropping the dog at day care. No dogs allowed on national park trails and Bijan has some separation anxiety. I mention this because we had to be back by 7 p.m. to pick him …

First Full Day
We were so busy yesterday, I didn't have a chance to write, but I"m still feeling the effects of our hike. Did you flatlanders know that there are these huge mounds of land called hills and they are harder to walk up? Yes, it's true. Yesterday we went to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area …
Oh The Things We Will Do & See
We (read Sue) did quite a bit of planning for Costa Rica this weekend. Usually we try and organize quite a bit of our excursions before we go, or at least we sketch out what we are doing. For this trip, we decided to plan what we wanted to do but then pretty much try …
It is Getting Kind of Late
We seem to be off to a slow start with our Costa Rica plans and I am not sure why. Sure, we have our flights and hotels. We have generally planned where we want to be and when, but no real firm plans. Perhaps this week we will get down to brass tacks and figure …

Doing Canyonlands from the Top Down
OK, we're a day behind again, but the heat and the hiking are exhausting! We decided that since we had seen Canyonlands National Park from the river, we would head to the top and see it from the road. The park is set up in such a way that you can pretty much see all …
Santa Fe Trail
After three days of driving, eating, and one too many beers, we decided yoga was in order. We went to Yoga Source, which has two studios. We went to the brand new one on Guadalupe and took an Iyengar class, which neither of us had done before. It was both energizing and really helped us …
The Booking Elves
Well, the booking elves have been busy (read Sue, as she is our official booker). (I found this out accidentally, when Steven said, "Did you book that? You're the booker.") We broke down the trip by day and then started to work through our list of possible adventures. Some of them we don’t need to …
