Sharon made a hash with eggs, potatoes, cheese and sausages for breakfast.
The plan for the day was a longer hike. We drove to a parking lot on Solstice near the Del Mar recreation center. We hiked along the bluffs and up Salal Creek through the golf course. It seemed like we could see the seventh and ninth fairways more than we could before. We looped through Gaulala Point Regional Park. We made a quick stop at the visitors center; it wasn't open. We stopped for a light lunch and some wine on a rest log overlooking the ocean. Although the sun tried to come out several times, it was cloudy.
In total, we covered 5.3 miles in just over three hours. We had about two hours and twenty-four minutes of moving time. We did a similar hike with Holly and Van in 2021.
Back at the house, we had a lazy afternoon. Kevin and I used the hot tub. Sharon and Donna worked on a puzzle. We watched the Eagles beat the Rams by the score of 28 to 22 and then part of the Bills versus Ravens game. We were watching the games on my iPad. In our rush to get out of the door on Thursday, I forgot the AppleTV.
Getting cleaned up, we headed to the Sea Ranch Lodge for dinner. We intended to have a cocktail before dinner, but the place was overrun. With only one bartender, it was chaos. We sat for more than thirty minutes and finally just went to our table.
The four of us split Focaccia & Marinated Olives. Sharon and I split a Chicory Salad [d’Anjou & Asian pears, Fennel, Pt. Reyes Blue, Candied Walnuts, & Cider Maple Vinaigrette]. For entrees, I had Spaghetti with Dungeness Crab, while Sharon had Braised Short Ribs. Kevin and Donna split Fried Brussels Sprouts [Walnut, Fresno Chili, & Anchovy Relish]. For entrees, Kevin had New York Steak, while Donna had Farm Oyster Mushroom Risotto.
We finished the night playing Mexican Train Dominos. I won three of the four games to easily win the evening. We crashed about 10:30 pm.
