We stayed at Post Ranch in Big Sur over Easter Weekend and did a
major 10 mile hike over the coast range into the Big Sur River valley. This is a waterfall
at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park on the Big Sur coast.

On Sunday, we did a 10 mile hike over the Coast Range and down the Big Sur River valley.

In mid-April we went to Palm Springs for an Autodesk meeting -
of course it was not all work, we got in a party and volleyball game. While Jon was in
meetings, Care attended tennis camp and visited a desert museum. She walked a mile for a
camel.

After being rear-ended by a local teenager driving a BMW, Care decided to trade in her
10-year old Audi for a new Audi Quattro A4. It is almost the identical
car -- with 10 years of improvements
