A great day in Big Sur California

April 18, 2008

A great day at The River Inn at Pfeiffer Big Sur. We were able to sit in the river on these great wooden chairs and dabble our feet in the water. It was quite chilly and the sun was behind the clouds but we had a great time despite that. The picture includes (closest to farthest) Bonnie, Augi, and Todd, and Arianna in the carrier, with Todd's mom Deb taking the picture. This part of the country is so beautiful. The drive from Monterey through Carmel on Hwy 1 is amazing. You could simply drive off the cliff into the ocean because it is that close. Augi, Deb, and I all had drinks while sitting in the river and enjoying ourselves in the wonderful wilderness. It was nice for Augi to be able to have a drink finally. Arianna is almost 3 months old now and it was time for mom to enjoy her Crown and Coke again if only for one afternoon. She loves her Crown and Coke like you can't even imagine.

Deb treated us all to lunch at the Pheonix Restaurant in Big Sur overlooking the ocean. It was one of the nicest times I have had at lunch with such a beautiful view. Todd's mom is very sweet. A great future mother in law for Augi one day. The day was perfect with all of the great views and family conversation. A wonderful time with my best friend and her significant other and family.
