It's All Relative

Some family members came out for a few days, and I packed as much fun as I could into their brief visit.

We toured the Monterey Bay Aquarium and took in the sunset at Carmel Beach.

We sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge and then hiked above it in the Marin Headlands.

We toured the Jelly Belly factory and sampled beans in various stages of production, starting with a most unexpected flavor (sweet potato).

On a handsome and assertive Arabian, I did my best to follow our guide along a hilly trail.

We clambered over shoreline rocks to explore the natural tide pools.

I had a blast. Maybe the family did, too.
