California dreamin'

Just got back from Memorial Day holiday long weekend...let me start by saying that the Memorial Day long weekend is definitely my favourite long weekend of the year. It's signals the beginning of summer, not *too* many American flags are waved (see "4th of July"), the weather's usually warm and gorgeous, and there are always big-budget, mind-numbing, wholly-entertaining, but not too much brain-utilizing movies to watch (see "Men in Black" or "Shrek 2"). So this weekend was more of the same...watched X-Men: the Last Stand, took a short road trip up the coast to Tomales Bay (Hog Island Oysters--yum!), and then over to Sonoma for some much-needed R&R at the Sonoma Mission Inn. It was probably one of the nicest spas I've ever been to, mostly because the people there was just so damn nice! More pics to come later...

P.S. I'm now addicted to e-lix-r tonics...doh!
