West Coast Spring 2018 – Oakland, Part One
June 14 – 17 How many times have we traversed I-5 through the Central Valley? Too many to count; recalling those early days when no services were available except for a lone gas station or two until the first real restaurant appeared at the Harris Ranch. We haven’t stopped there to eat in quite some […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Los Angeles
June 11 – 13 Our three nights in Los Angeles would follow a familiar pattern, visiting old haunts, seeing good friends, maybe a bike ride or two and best of all, an obligatory dinner at Paco’s. And that is pretty much how it went, a lot of it old news to those who follow this […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Solana Beach
June 7 – 10 With a full day ahead of us and a four hour plus drive to Solana Beach, we took off mid-morning (along with Sharon and Doug) to miss most of the Las Vegas rush hour traffic. It was an easy drive, stopping for our first visit of the trip at the In-N-Out […]

West Coast Summer 2017 – The Wedding – Part Three
August 16-21 We soon found ourselves dressed and ready to head over to the Cheese School. Kim and Marty’s good friend Rhonda, who’d be staying with us that night kindly took a number of pictures of us, all cleaned up and ready to go. We drove the Honda over to the venue as it would […]
West Coast Summer 2017 – The Wedding – Part Two
August 16-21 We closed out the picnic and followed the kids back to the B&B where the wedding party was staying in order to pick up the Honda and ferry it back to Potrero House as there was available parking there. There we relaxed until it was time to head over to The Cheese School […]
West Coast Summer 2017 – The Wedding – Part One
August 16-21 We rolled out of Kamp Angst as planned right around 9am with Fairfield, just outside of the Bay Area as our eventual destination. As we entered Grants Pass we stopped to fill up the Honda, grab a large coffee at Dutch Brothers and make our obligatory stop at Cary’s of Oregon for a […]
West Coast Summer 2017 – Cisco Fest 2017-Part Two
August 10-12 We would have another full day on Saturday, some shopping in the morning for the BBQ we planned to have later at Jessica and Kris’ apartment and then an afternoon with them hitting a couple of places in Oakland. Doug, Evan and I made the supermarket run to a Safeway not far away, […]
West Coast Summer 2017 – Cisco Fest 2017-Part One
August 10-12 With the wedding of Jessica and Kris scheduled for the bay area in August, the other Cisco’s gracefully agreed to hold our annual gathering there, giving Joanna and I an opportunity to introduce them to part of a city we’ve come to know so well, Oakland. We’d be staying at the Courtyard Marriott […]
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. Both Jessica and Kris had plans for the evening (yoga and volleyball, respectively) leaving us free to consume a big lunch at where else, In-N-Out, somewhere between SLO and […]
