Date women from United States / California / Fairfax, 50 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Hello,
IРІР‚в„ўm a playful, happy, optimistic person. A sense of humor is key to a happy life, I think. Being able to laugh at lifeРІР‚в„ўs absurdities is crucial for keeping me sane.
I have an often cold nose and a good sense of smell. But I’m pretty sure those are the only characteristics I share with a golden retriever. Oh wait – we’re both loyal. And friendly. And have great hair.
Seeing live music is a passion of mine, and living in Fairfax, I get to indulge that need fairly often. I like many types of music, though IРІР‚в„ўm probably overly fond of the Beatles and Tom Petty.
IРІР‚в„ўm not much of a cook, but do appreciate good food and eat organic as much as possible. But my kids know how to pick up the phone for dinner.
I love adventure and travel. I took my kids back to their birth places in China and Taiwan in 2010. That was my last big trip. I'd love to do more international travel, and travel in the American west. I've now lived in the Bay Area longer than anywhere else. It's pretty great out here - the people, the weather, the outdoor lifestyle, the awe-inspiring beauty. I'm well-travelled through much of the U.S. (I have family in Seattle, New England and the south). But I still haven't seen (and would like to go to): Glacier Nat'l Park, the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Alaska, Ashland, OR and Santa Fe. I'm also interested in doing more international travel.
A few thoughts about my guy:
You have an easy smile and use it often. We make each other laugh. A lot. Life is full of serious stuff, but having fun is the order of the day when weРІР‚в„ўre together. And fun can be just appreciating a beautiful day, and going out for breakfast and a hike in Marin. Heading out to hear some live music at night. Enjoying each otherРІР‚в„ўs company. You are generous with your time to your community, friends and family. You have a big heart. I sure hope you enjoy kissing as much I do.
You gotta be cool with kids (I have 2 teenaged boys). And understand that as a mom who has her kids full-time and works Mon-Fri, I don’t have tons of free time. But know that I really look forward to seeing you on the weekend – and hopefully a date night or two during the week.
What adventures have you been up to lately? (local or otherwise)
Cheers,
Carolyn
