Tradition Numero Dos

THE BEACH. The weather gods have always, at least since 2002, smiled upon bay area temperatures in early February for some mysterious yet glorious reason. So after weeks and weeks of cold and rain, who wouldn't want to hit the beach? And when you're already in Los Gatos for cake (oh yeah, and lunch) and mid-sixties' sun... you're practically in the Santa Cruz mountains and pretty much halfway there anyway. Birthday indulgence #2: ocean therapy with sun, surf, and sand. Aaaaah..... "Age ain't nothin' but a numba!"
