A Trip to California While Baba and Grandpa Visit

Opening up the LendIt Fintech USA 2019 conference

My annual conference happened this past week so I have been out of town for the past eight days. Marcy came out and we went down to Half Moon Bay again after the big event. Our annual conference went well but as always I was glad when it was over as it was a huge amount of work.

Marcy’s parents arrived in Denver on Tuesday and then she flew out to San Francisco the following day. I met her at the airport and then we drove down to the Ritz-Carlton at Half Moon Bay. We had a wonderful time. We spent a lot of time in the spa, we went for walks around town and up and down the coast.

We did a lot of walking. It was almost a four mile walk along the coast into the town of Half Moon Bay and we did that walk pretty much every day.

Meanwhile Jude and Anna were with Baba and Grandpa. Of course, they had school Wednesday to Friday but that didn’t stop them from going out for ice cream every day.

They also watched a lot of movies as many of the rules were relaxed with Baba and Grandpa in charge.

We arrived home this afternoon just in time to see Anna get off to Cotillion class. Jude had a soccer game so I drove up to Boulder to watch the second half of that game.
