Spent the Labor Day weekend camping at Salt Point, on the Sonoma county coast, with my family, including the in-laws. Woke up Saturday morning to a world of fog, the tall pines towering above us in the grey light, everything quiet and still. It stayed foggy until midafternoon.

Pretty close to perfect. It was hard to come back to the world of weblogs & email.
