Not a lot of story to tell, but after graduation, I was looking for a short vacation. I met up with Chris, Bruce and Dennis in Southern California, and we loaded up Chris’ big old SUV, and drove into Baja. The surf was small, but we had a good time. Surf friday, Saturday, and headed back Sunday. Went to the fish market and bought great fresh fish. Cooked and hung out in camp.
Surf was a bit small and dissapointing, but it was a good weekend hanging out.

Kim and Geoff had our honeymoon in the UK, visiting sites and family.  It was wonderful.

Another reason to go this weekend, well, her …

Christmas at my parents house is always fun, and I was excited to have Kim join us this year, she wrote a really fun story with her some of her impressions, I’ve posted it below. We had a great time, and it was over far too quickly! Makes me wish my family lived closer.
Hope every one had a great Holiday!

My Girlfriend Kim and I recently spent 6 days exploring the Northern part of Baja with friends.   She wrote a trip report, which is here. My comments were added in Green Text. It’s long, but I hope you enjoy it.
