Well, I got a big surprise for my double-bonus weekend (40th birthday and Fathers Day). Kari somehow kept me surprised up until the last minute, and I was even driving!! As we were driving south and passing the turn to Santa Cruz, I really started to wonder. Carmel by the Sea? Kari's entirely too practical to bring me here. Aha, there's my mom and Dick (they came all the way from Florida) on the side of the road. They've booked us a cottage, and they're buying all the meals!!
