Coolest Friends - Birthday surprise

Yesterday, my friends surprised me with a camping trip to the beach this weekend for my birthday. I have been traveling SO much lately and its SO nice to spend some time around the Central Coast of California. It was warm, with offshore winds and the sweet smell of fall was in the air. We hung out and (unfortunately no surf!) but we did play a huge game of Frisbee golf which lasted a few hours, then bbq’d some great food and had a campfire. Later, Bryan broke out the guitars and he and I played till late. It is such a blessing to have such great friends who can get away. Life is so busy and I get so caught up myself in the 'business' and daily task list. It is so refreshing to get away, I ALWAYS forget how simple life is when there are no computers, cell phones and chores waiting around the house. Camping is so organic and for me at least, it brings me back to nature, and cleanses me from any stress.
