Birthday Celebrations Getaway
Sereno Del Mar - Bodega Bay
April 7 - 11, 2021
Five days of fun in the sun! Mark, Coral, Sam, Ana, Casey and Mary Ellen headed to Soreno Del Mar for Sam and Coral's birthday celebrations! The trip started with Wednesday night dinner at our fabulous house overlooking the pacific. We had three tournament games during our stay, each with winner brackets and prizes. Coral and Mark won two tournaments and Sam and Ana won one. The games were ladderball, corn hole and washer toss. Fun and competitive! Sam's 30th birthday was Thursday and the guys went golfing while the gals hiked the Dr. David C. Joseph Memorial Trail to the top of Red Hill. The panoramic views were incredible. Kayhan and Richard surprised Sam for a taco bar dinner. After dinner Mary Ellen graced us all with a Jeopardy game and Sam was the subject. Super fun, loads of laughter and Ana won! Next was a few games of Right, Left, Center. Ending with a triple pot, Sam scored big. The evening was finished off with all the kids in the hot tub and Coral and Mark hit the bed. Friday: What a day of surprises! Sam and Ana went for a walk and ended up on a peninsula island where Sam purposed! After they returned to the house, it was a beautiful moment for all of us. Casey and Mary Ellen took them into town and they celebrated with a bottle of champagne on the ocean's edge. Spaghetti and meatballs was on tap for dinner and the entire Winje family surprised Ana and joined us for dinner to celebrate their engagement. Champagne, wine, laughter and love was certainly in the air. Saturday morning was a 60th birthday coffee on the deck with a fire for Coral. We all were exhausted and spent the day at the beach, playing games and relaxing. Afternoon champagne was met with wonderful cards and gifts from family and friends. We went into town for dinner at the Tides. After dinner was another game of Jeopardy surrounded by Coral's life. Sunday morning we all slept in before packing up and heading home. Great memorial vacation for all!
