Since Richmond is thousands of miles from us, it seems that we only see Jon, Sue and Jacob once or twice a year! Have to get better about that!
We had a great time catching up - Jon has a new job in Marin, which is only about 20 miles from his house, instead of nearly 100! Sue has decided that she is ready for a new challenge, and is looking for a job as a Communications director in the public sector, either in the education or non-profit area. She would be awesome in that role. She'll be retiring her business of 17 years once she finds the ideal job.
Jacob is a Junior in high school, and will be 17 in February. I think that he now holds the record for height in the family! Don (son-in-law) used to be the tallest, but I think that Jacob may have edged him out! Jake plans to join the military when he graduates from high school, and after a 4 year stint, take advantage of the GI Bill to go to a technical school.
Fortunately, the Cliff House allows you to dine in a leisurely fashion, so we were able to do lots of catching up.

Blustery, windy cold weather!
Yes, there's a bit of a height difference......

The Golden Gate bridge with Ft. Point on the right.
After brunch, Lee and I changed into tennis shoes and warm coats and went for a walk along Lands End. Once we got away from the ocean, it wasn't as windy. A lovely walk, and a good way to walk off a bit of the delicious brunch!
