Baby Moon + A Birthday Trip

And also Moxie's last mini-vacation as an only child! Poor Moxie so oblivious. Anyhoo packed her up and drove down south towards Big Sur, Cambria, and San Luis Obispo for my birthday weekend (yay! about as much fun as a 30 something birthday can be :P).

Checked out the opulent Hearst Castle. Yes, that's the publishing mogul.



No trip is complete without wild life viewing. This time elephant seals!



And we went to the beach at Morro Bay!



Ended off with lunch at Sierra Del Mar restaurant at Post Ranch Inn. With my wonderful birthday luck it was all foggy. At least lunch was good and well priced. Guess this calls for another trip down ;)

Stroll Round Mount Tam

The weather was gorgeous yesterday! Was feeling a little guilty about the dog and her impending neglect so the family (well 2.5 + dog) took a drive to Mt. Tamales. Actually it's Mt. Tamalpais, about 45 minutes north of San Francisco, but I like the sound of tamales :) There's a paved path near the peak which makes for an easy stroll.

Moxie says cheeeese! And aren't the clouds in the background pretty?
