What a delightful way to spend a summer's Saturday evening. We went to the ballgame. We enjoyed delightful weather while watching the home team hosting the Stockton Ports from the general admission bleachers in right field. It was fun to be among young families,...
It's time for lunch and Castro Street is so close! What choice could we make but to walk a mile and choose from a wonderful selection of restaurants? We chose the Irish pub and opted for the outdoor seating. From there we could see and hear some of the coverage of the...
Meg and Jason took us to the observatory at Foothill College this morning. Our docent was the VP of the Peninsula Astronomical Society. We truly enjoyed looking at sunspots and solar flares, learning about The Carrington Event, and listening to the acoustic effects of...
We ventured out on a walking adventure to downtown Mountain View. We lingered over Tapas and Sangria at Cascal's then wandered to the East West Bookstore where we scored a luscious filmy royal blue silk scarf. At Book Buyers we found two seasons of Indiana Jones on...
Named for the coastal fog, this is a delightful little winery. No associated vineyard but there is a pretty garden and benches. Sharon is a gracious host. We two did not make it through a full wine tasting and were grateful that Lou had abstained. We did come away...
After a leisurely time spent over coffee this morning we headed for the coast to see some of Lou's favorite spots. Bean Hollow Beach was enchanting. We can see why she would spend hours on end here! We got to see harbor seals on the rocks and walk amid amazing...
On our way to today's adventures, we stopped for refreshments at Cameron's British Pub in the community of Half Moon Bay. What a fun place! Collections of everything British everywhere inside and out. It's also the site of our very first geocaching find!
Pulled into Mountain View and parked the rig. Did a little shopping then walked across to Pearl Cafe, a coffee, tea, and Hawaiian BBQ place. We shared a New Mexican Salad and the Kalua Pork with vegetables. Wow! How can you make pork taste this incredible?

We're camping at a KOA on Monterey Bay between Monterey and Santa Cruz. Much cooler here. We changed into jeans and donned light jackets for the easy walk to Phil's Fish Market and Eatery for a lovely seafood dinner complemented with wonderful vegetables from the...

Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

Back in 1973 we promised ourselves we’d visit Alcatraz someday. This is the day. We toured the buildings, read the interpretive signs, listened to the audio commentary, and came away with a deeper understanding of what this place represents with hope mixed in with the grim and gritty.
Especially with a family member living here for more than a decade, we’ve made a few trips to the San Francisco Bay Area, but this delightful trip was our first experience in Sausalito and it was delightful.
Our stop at Long Beach, California aboard Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 was a historic meeting of two iconic ocean liners. Queen Mary who served from 1936 to 1967 and her namesake, the only ocean liner still in service. We topped that off with a visit to the original Queen Mary, now a floating museum and hotel.
