What a Sunday to remember! John and I played golf today in Pembroke Pines, about thirty minutes from our condo. Grand Palms Golf course was not ready for these two ball chasers. Yes, ball chasers-not golfers. We need some serious lessons. We had so much fun! At first we were a little embarrassed, and then we realized there was no one close behind us. Thank god! The weather was beautiful and we laughed all day. Well, until we realized Juan had lost his new sunglasses. We were at the eighth hole and suddenly John's sunglasses were no where to be found. So that was a little damper on a great day, but what can you do? We back tracked and searched in the sand pits, around the water (because a lot of our drives ended up in the water or sand pits) and everywhere else-no glasses. This was our first golf outing together, good times!
We've spent a whole lot of time in the San Fransisco bay area in the last 2 months. However, there is always something new to experience. Last Sunday we drove over the Golden Gate to Sausalito, had a burger for lunch and decided to go see the redwoods. Wow, what an adventure! This outing started off as a leisurely hike to see the Muir woods. The next thing I know, we have been hiking for about oh, 2hrs and we are a little lost. Everyone we passed had backpacks on, bottled water, a hiking stick or two, power bars, huge tri-fold maps - not us. We are living proof, all you need is tennis shoes. We had hiked off of our map! Looking back, it was hilarious! At the time, well, you can only imagine our conversations. At one point we were getting a little concerned, we had not passed any other hikers for over an hour. We finally ran into a couple that let us take a peek at their map. We were almost exactly where we thought we were. John seems to think he has a human GPS. I tend to disagree! Ha Ha! Anyway, I think we ended up hiking about 6 miles. When we finally made it back to the rental car, we chugged some water and drove over to Muir beach to watch the sunset. The half moon shaped beach was cozy. We could smell the salt water mixed with the wood burning fires! I think it was the first beach I've ever been to that allows bonfires. Kinda reminded me of karate kid or some movie? Well, another adventure I promise we will never forget! We are both sore from the hike! John don't forget about the ashes.
