Joy went away for a Soulcare retreat in Monterey at a beautiful place along Highway 1. She was refreshed and enjoyed the time of reflection. She got to lead an art experience and helped make one of the meals. In the meantime, Brett and the boys went to see Avengers End Game-re-release with 5 extra minutes and then off to Sacramento to watch potentially the final AL night game in Northern CA (if there is a work stoppage in 2027).

| The retreat crew from a view out the front door! |
 |
| Just across the street from the retreat center...the Pacific Ocean. |
 |
| The ladies ate well. |
 |
| We should've challenged ball one, should've been strike three! Instead a three-run home run by Yordan Alvarez, the probable AL MVP. |
 |
| Four boys in a row, sporting A's stuff, alas they lost 13-2, ooof. |
 |
| Hope for next year, with Henry Bolte and Lawrence Butler putting together good second halves. |
 |
| Getting artistic with Joy's leading. |
 |
| Garrett, Ira, Bryce, and Jonathan (Brett took pic) enjoyed End Game. |

 |
| Quite the luxury room, too. |
