West Coast Spring 2017, Part Six
Timeline: April 6-17 A few more of those delicious scones sent us on our way Thursday morning and prepped us for the drive back to Oakland.

West Coast Spring 2017, Part Five
Timeline: April 6-17 In the rush to submit my last blog post, I neglected to include one stop we made Tuesday afternoon that was a highlight, at least for Evan and I. During our wanderings on Marsh Street we passed by an auto repair and sales shop known as British Sports Cars and so popped […]
West Coast Spring 2017, Part Four

We spent an interesting couple of hours there as I watched […]
