October was a pretty quiet month, mostly punctuated by Jon's birthday - dinner at Cole's in Napa and a long weekend trip to Carmel.
Jon's Birthday at Coles
On October 15th, Jon's 65th birthday, we went to Cole's Chop House in Napa for Jon's birthday dinner. We've been going there for Jon's birthday almost every years since Cole's opened. We had a nice seat outside and a good steak dinner.
Carmel
The weekend of October 23ed, we went to Carmel for a long weekend, staying at La Playa Carmel, where we have stayed before. It was a rainy weekend but we got in some tennis and beach-walking - and saw The Walker House - one of Frank Lloyd Wright's designs on Carmel Beach.
Saturday morning, we went over to the Mission Ranch tennis club for a lesson with Chris Myrold, one of our favorite tennis pros. After our lesson we took Chris's advice and went over to The Hay in Pebble Beach for a lunch on te golf course.
On a rainy Sunday afternoon, we drove the 17-Mile drive and ended up at the Inn At Spanish Bay for lunch at Roy's, one of our favorites.
