Cocktail hour by the sea lion pool was dotted with cheerful yellow umbrellas trimmed with white fringe. Tables were adorned with flowering terra cotta pots and green and white checkered tablecloths. The playful picnic atmosphere carried over to dinner where rows of giant Boston ferns hung overhead as did globed fairy lights. Guests ate surrounded by potted geraniums and miniature wicker picnic baskets overflowing with sweet cherries and strawberries. As the sun set, large lanterns were lit giving off a warm, evening glow.
