Life is the adventure

We are willing participants, with the full understanding that we can jump in with both feet, endure a sore muscle and a little sweat in order to find the nuggets of beauty and the treasure of the ultimate vista. Just when we think, Yes! That's it! there's a new one.

Day 2 - Down the Pacific Coast to Pebble Beach

Day 2: After a lot of begging and pleading, Jeff got to check an item off of his "pail" list (said he preferred that to the "bucket" we were working on). We found our way to Oakland to see Raider's Stadium...for a quick pose in front of their logo. A little souvenier shop happened to appear next to Starbuck's so he could purchase something to remind him of the moment.
Then, we made a bee-line for the coast and fulfilled the next item on the list: Pebble Beach. the weather looks a little gloomier than it really was. It was actually beautiful: breezy, misty and the whitecaps out on the Pacific made for an interesting backdrop to those emerald-hued greens. The guys walked the course and watched a few foursomes hack their way out of the rough, which was rough! We finished that excursion with a shot at the Lone Cypress...quite stunning.

We lunched at the Tap Room there at the Club and swore we saw Ben Crenshaw having a burger with his mom. Maybe not, but it made for good conversation.
We found a good little spot in the lobby of the Embassy Suites in Carmel-by-the-Sea where we enjoyed a few cold ones and some hot cards. Resting up for our trip to Mariposa and the great Yosemite.
Stay tuned for Day 3...you won't believe the next couple of days!
