Hello Collins

Our 20th wedding anniversary! We picked out these roses together for the house to commemorate our milestone:) May 26, 2021 We took a drive down to Pescadero and had a delicious lunch at Duartes Tavern. (after 20 years...this is the 1st time I put on one of his "Alaska Grown" sweatshirts, haha... I forgot my jacket) After lunch, we took a stroll :) and shared memories from the past and feelings about our future :) Harbor seals checking in on us every 2 minutes while we held each other tight :) We spent a weekend together a month prior to be ALONE (after an entire year of being on top of each other, haha) and decided we would make it our 20th getaway.  We both had wished to have gone away for a longer time but with Clay's schedule  we decided this was going to be it.  It was wonderful!

Back in January we began in our new school district here in Half Moon Bay :) At first it was all zoom from 8am to lunch time each day. Then it went to a hybrid model i n early April with Chester on campus 4 days a week from 8:30 to 11:20am with  Henry and Audrey going Mondays and Tuesday to campus from 8am-Noon with some variation.  Wednesdays are called asynchronous days which means...no school! Just a day of assignments that either get done early or late or whenever.  I have to say, this has been our new favorite schedule...a four day school week! I decided we needed to see some surrounding sights on these days and get out of the house and ditch the screens! January Purisima Creek Redwoods a preserve just 20 minutes down the road from us! we've done mornings which tend to be nicer  and less peopley :) The beautiful Palace of Fine Arts We roamed around and crossed Lombard to Crissy Field. I will tell you crime and auto break ins are at an all time high :( Clay got me a shade guard
