Retreat in Santa Cruz

We spent the weekend at a retreat at Mount Herman Conference Center in the mountains of Santa Cruz, escaping from the hectic pace of every day life. We holed up in a fantastic one-bedroom cabin with a deck overlooking a stream and steep ravine, dropped the boys off at the retreat center's fantastic nursery, listened to inspiring talks, engaged in enlightening conversations, made some new friends, sang songs around a campfire, and hiked throughout the redwood forests.

Wow, this looks like a lot of fun. Next year, we'll plan to come too!

By the way, Tyler looks tiny when he is strapped to Ryan's chest. So funny, because Tyler is such a huge baby. Guess its all a matter of perspective.
