Happy 50th Birthday Jens

We the help of a lot of wonderful friends, Jens and I were able to sneak off for a three day trip to one of our favorite places in California - Monterey. We enjoyed a five hour car ride up the coast. We found a delicious restaurant, The Big Sky Cafe in San Luis Obispo. We stayed in our favorite hotel - the Hyatt. It was so wonderful to be kid less.

Happy 50th Birthday, Jens

One day we hiked in Point Lobo. Point Lobo is a little before Monterey. There is beautiful scenery.

We took one day to head to San Francisco. When Jens was in school in Denmark, one of the places that he learned about was the Golden Gate Bridge. It was always a desire of his to see it. He saw it for the first time 13 years ago when Adam was a baby. It was fun to spend his actually 50th birthday on the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco.

. We walked across the Golden Gate Bridge. We went down into Sausalito and rode the ferry round trip. It was a magical day for both of us.

Jens is calling his mom in Denmark Alcatraz Island from the ferry.

After lots of yummy food, sea air and quiet moments, it was time to head home. We managed one last stop at the Big Sky Cafe for lunch and found our way back to reality.

Happy 50th Birthday, my love.
