Gina asked what I wanted to do for my birthday, and with 70 degree weather -- and kids in school -- it was an easy choice. We were doing a Mt. Tam hike that was written up here. Half the hike was along the hills overlooking Stinson Beach (including a very old, very damaged car wreck), and the other half followed along the river above Cataract Falls (no newts, sadly). Towards the end, we had a picnic overlooking both the bay and the ocean, and before we knew it, the outing was over. We arrived home around the same time as the kids, we broke into Gina's famous lemon cake, then later they made pizza as we watched Spectre, which is about as horrible of a birthday movie as you can get, but it was still a great day.
