San Francisco/Monterey/Carmel

I traveled to San Francisco to meet up with Cammie & Jeff. My buddy Jeff entered the Sea Otter Classic which is a huge mountain bike ride in Monterey. This trip was a lot of fun. I finally got to meet one of Cammie's closest friends that she has talked about for years (Scott). Rachel was also able to make the trip and it was great seeing her after about 2 years. Good times!!!
No trip to San Francisco is not complete if you don't have pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge.
I met up with Cammie & Scott and we were off to meet my cousin Dana and her youngest Lauren for lunch at Ozumo.
Cammie & her friend Scott. He was a lot of fun to be around on this trip. I can see why they are such good friends.
My beautiful cousin Dana and her youngest Lauren. I simply adore my cousin. She is as pretty today as she was when we were kids.
Something obviously was funny. Love Dana's reaction.
Cammie & I on the drive from San Fran to Monterey. This is the same route I have ridden the past 2 years on the Aids Life Cycle ride. It was kind of neat to see it by a car instead of on a bike. A lot easier too.
Fantastic pic of the Pigeon Lighthouse right off of Hwy 101 towards Monterey. This lighthouse is right outside Santa Cruz.
Rock me Amadeus!!!!
Cause she's giving him something he can feel. :) Cammie trying to loosen up Jeffrey before his big race.
Cammie & Rachel at the finish line. Jeff's time was great as he did the 19 mile course just over 2 hours.
Cammie & I taking care of Jeff's bike after he finished. He was scarfing down some carbs for quick energy as he felt light headed after the race was over.
Crash & burn baby.
My two peeps Cammie & Jeff in Carmel. Great day here after the race that morning in Monterey. I had forgotten how pretty it was here.
Cammie playing in the ocean while we were at Carmel. The weather was the best I have ever seen in San Francisco and the Bay Area on this trip.
Jeff & I before we headed out for dinner at Osha. The thai place was fantastic.
Two of my best friends in the world. Hmm, can you tell we like black?
Cammie & Rachel looking as lovely as ever. Great time was spent with these two this past weekend.
Jeff, Cammie, Scott & I at Golden Gate Park.
Last shot of the day in San Francisco of the Golden Gate Bridge. It is so small :). Cammie is like what the "f" are you doing?

Scott's Birthday Dinner

Kevin, Jeff & I took our friend Scott out to celebrate his birthday. Before Scott and I picked the two kiddo's up, we were discussing middle age and about to have a nervous breakdown in the car. Luckily that didn't happen.
The four of us enjoying dinner in Lodo. From the left-Scott, myself, Kevin & Jeff.
I won't mention how old Scott is, but let's just say that he looks damn good for his age. :)
Kevin, Jeff & Derek
Just call him the sex kitten.
My buddy jeff whom I absolutely adore. He does hands down one of the best southern accents EVAR considering he's from good old Colorado. :)
