October Weekends, Part One
October 9 – 11, 2020 We’d spend the month of October at home with the exception of two weekends out of town, the highlight of the month being two separate one week visits from Jessica, Kris and Gemma. They’d also spend a couple of weeks in-between with Kim and Marty in Henderson (we’d run there […]
Arizona Sojourn, Part Eight
September 9 – 20, 2020 Done with our doctor’s appointments late in the day on Thursday, we lit out for Solana Beach knowing we’d likely miss the dinner hour, so down around San Clemente we pulled off the freeway to eat at a Chik-Fil-A. This is one of those conflicted calls to make as we […]
Arizona Sojourn, Part Six
September 9 – 20, 2020 We landed in Henderson at Kim and Marty’s for three nights before we would return home for one day to take care of doctor’s appointments, then meet them at their condo in Solano Beach. Nothing earth shattering would occur while at either place and yet, we’d engage in enough safe […]
Arizona Sojourn, Part Four
September 9 – 20, 2020 Finished with our meal, we got back on the road and began the drive to Flagstaff and we wound our way up Highway 89A through Oak Creek Canyon. As it was a Saturday, there was a lot of traffic on the road, which was lined on both sides with parked […]
Arizona Sojourn, Part Three
September 9 – 20, 2020 Our shopping stop was at Clark’s Market, which we’d checked out the day before after dinner. We decided that for our meal that night we’d pick up some prepared dishes from the deli counter and eat in the apartment. This is a big attractive supermarket, kind of a cross between […]
Arizona Sojourn, Part Two
September 9 – 20 Satiated after our Machaca burrito, we got cleaned up and hopped in the car to start our driving tour of the area. We found the route at Sedona.Net and would make good use of it over the course of a couple of days. Our first stop would be back at the […]
Arizona Sojourn, Part One
September 9 – 20 August blew by in a hurry, with lots of bike riding, a visit to Oakland to see Jessica, Kris and Gemma, and then a fun Labor Day when sister Bev, nephew Jed and his friend Shikerra came to see us at home. We soon thereafter set out for another ten-day trip […]
On the Road Again 2020, Northern California Part Eight
July 23 – August 3, 2020 The next day, our last in town, we opted for what we hoped would be a less difficult ride, down to Angels Camp on Highway 4 and then back up Murphy’s Grade Road. This would mostly be the case with a few small exceptions, starting with a rough descent […]
On the Road Again 2020, Northern California Part Seven
July 23 – August 3, 2020 The restaurant at the hotel gets good ratings so it was a simple decision to eat there our first night in town. They had set up a large dining space on an adjacent patio and a grassy area in front of our room, which made for a nice environment […]
On the Road Again 2020, Northern California Part Five
July 23 – August 3, 2020 Finished with our tour of the Victorian homes, we began our trek to Redding by driving north a short distance on the 101 before turning inland on Highway 299, also known as the Trinity Highway as it follows that the river for nearly half of the journey. One of […]
