Home!

We are home.

Our honeymoon was exactly the proper length and entirely wonderful - full of adventures, book-reading, roughing it, luxuriating, walking, seeing scenes, drinking wine in Napa, drinking beer around campfires, eating amazing food, hiking, biking and more.

I promise to share many, many details and photos - especially if you have any wish to visit California and make a trip along the coast. I think we did it up right.

For now, we are unpacking. Some highlights...

• Four bottles of wine and one non-wine bottle all survived a long plane ride and taxi ride in checked luggage.
• Two wine glasses and two sparkling wine flutes also survived to tell the tale.
  
• B is certain that he can smell campfire on clothes still. He's probably right. Campfires are awesome but infectious.
• Two happy kitties welcomed us home - bravo to the amazing Debo for taking care of them while we took off during the hottest weeks of August.
• My strong runner/walker/biker legs learned thing or two about hills in the beautiful but astounding San Francisco.
• When we landed we were excited to receive word that our wedding photos are available for review online. What a treat!
• Tomorrow we will say a sad goodbye to Big Red Suitcase, whose handle stopped moving up (so you could us it without being really bothered by it) on our first day of vacation. We will also finish the unpacking that we started tomorrow. And NOT eat at a restaurant. Weird what we get to appreciate, no?
  
• Someone left cold beer, cold Diet Coke and easy eats for us at home! Hint: It was me! Hooray for this miraculous situation!

This photo is me in our perfect hammock, a gift from our friends who a true appreciators of things like hammocks. We set this up at our campsite near Big Sur, next to a babbling brook and enjoyed the most relaxing day ever.
