The first adventure Denise and I had was a trip to the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Pasadena.  Being travel agents we could stay at nice hotels at discounted rates.  Denise loved the water and we spent a lot of time in the jacuzzi and the pool.  We went for a drive which we loved to do, and found a park where we could hike.  We hiked for a mile or so, had a great time on the trail, then headed back to the hotel for dinner.  Denise was about 200 pounds over weight and was anxious to lose the weight by being much more active with me and only eating when I would eat.  She was losing a lot of weight and having a great time.

Then we started our trips to the California Missions with a visit to San Juan Capistrano
