We explored views, watched mountain bikers, took naps on lumber piles in the sun (Dad) while waiting for mom to join us.  Once we did, I had one of the best sandwiches ever (ceci bean- quinoa patties on warm toasted pita, chevre, arugula/romaine, red pepper relish, and a cucumber and basil vinaigrette.  HEAVEN for thee tastebuds.

Nom nom.

And last but not least, we missed our Do Do back studying away in Chicago.
