Larry ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0079 and Janet ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0080 met me at the airport and Janet took this picture ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0081 while Larry ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0082 tried to do the same with his cell phone camera which replaced the old phone which lost its signal after going through the washing machine. Driving north on I-5, we saw this car from Iowa with surfboards ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0083 and then reached our destination -- Suite 306 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0084 where Syl greeted us ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0085 as Dan put on his shirt ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0086 and we were served fruit and nuts ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0087 as they do in California. Next we saw the card ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0088 that came with the orchids, the flowers from Michelle and Jason ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0089 the new orchid ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0090 and the older one ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0091 which is getting a new bud. Meanwhile, Syl was unpacking the bells from Sarah ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0092 and getting ready to install them ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0093 as Janet ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0094 admired the Do Not Disturb sign and the bells were shown ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0095 even as these azaleas ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0096 arrived from Linda.

But we were there for a reason -- Sylvia's 85th birthday. So, we headed to George's ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0097 and went in ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0098 so that each of us ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0099 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0100 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0101 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0102 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0103 and the birthday girl twice could read the menu ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0104 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0105 as Shane, our waiter, explained the specials ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0106 and then Sylvia ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0107 Larry ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0108 Janet ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0109 Dan ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0110 and I ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0111 in this better self portrait ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0112 could order as the bread ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0113 arrived and the cards ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0114 were opened ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0115 as the first course of crab ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0116 was arriving. The wine came ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0117 and was oriented ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0118 for a good picture as my vegetarian plate ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0119 tasted as good as it looked and the server ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0120 brought the other main courses ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0121 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0122 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0123 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0124 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0125 so that as the sun set ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0126 I could join the clean plate club ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0127 and see the birthday chocolates ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0128 even as these pictures ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0129 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0130 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0131 were being taken by the staff photographer ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0132 and we were headed back to the apartment. A discussion of who was really taller led to this picture ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0133 though there was no doubt of who was more handsome.
