Bolinas

Susan and Ebba have a friend named Sage.  She has twins and although I have never been close with her, we have seen each other at a large number of twin related functions and she is quite nice.  She is also married to a partner at the company that Michael almost worked for before he took his current job. Sage and her husband are quite rich.  They recently bought and renovated a vacation home in Bolinas which is in Marin County on the coast.  She's invited me there several times, but it never worked out and I was never really comfortable going for a variety of reasons.

But this weekend, Ebba and Susan were going and invited me. Sage and her husband were not there.  Susan took the girls up on Friday and Parker and I joined them on Saturday. It's a lovely house with six bedrooms (3 sets of bunk beds), two full kitchens, three or more bathrooms, and a lovely yard with hot tub.  Plus it's a short stroll to the beach.

The kids had a great time, but 9 kids together does get very loud very quickly.  We played at the beach, around the house, in the hot tub, and shared a taco dinner.  Susan, Ebba and I enjoyed a quiet evening in the hot tub looking at the stars which were bright and plentiful. This morning, Ebba made pancakes and bacon, Susan provided sugary cereal and everyone got back in the hot tub again.

It was all delightful.
