We celebrated Natazha’s belated birthday this weekend with friends and family in Encinitas, CA. I managed to keep it a surprise (which is hard for me) so Natazha walked into a house full of love and a backyard fiesta complete with a taco truck and lots of margaritas. It has been a crazy busy month for us for sure, and things aren’t slowing down anytime soon. We are headed off to San Francisco this afternoon so that I can go to the iStrategy conference on digital strategy and marketing with my uncle.

The learning vacation of the week is The Ranch at Jesus Canyon , a 250 acre southern California retreat that offers bull riding and motocross camps. The motocross camp offers one-on-one training on a world class track and lodging is included. The 8 seconds experience is the bull riding day course that teaches you how to get on and off a bull, as well as the mechanics and safety of riding. You will start on a mechanical bull and finish the day with a real bull ride!
