Just got back from our mystery vacation. I planned the whole itinerary for our mini two day vacation to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. My hubby had know idea what we were going to do and really he didn't care. Never asked what we going to do and acted bored most of the time. But we did do some fun stuff IMO. We live near some of the oldest redwood tree groves. On Sunday we went zip lining through the big redwoods. Not as scary as I thought it would be but it was something we've never done before. We had perfect weather and I was surprised that we had sea legs after we were done. Didn't know the redwoods were swaying so much while we were zipping. After that we went to a B&B in Moss Landing called "The Captain's Inn". Again something we've never done before. It was very warm along the coast that day. Since we were the only people at the Inn that night, we could leave all the windows and doors open. We had dinner at The Whole Enchilada" (a restaurant we have driven past a thousand times before and never stopped at) and during the super bowl game had Mexican Cioppino and pear margaritas. Both were very good.
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
