West Coast Spring 2018 – Victoria, Part Two
July 14 – 16 We’d opted for the in-camp breakfast the next morning which for us included the Belgian Waffles (1 waffle using their free-range eggs served with homemade berry sauce and syrup with whipped cream) and the scrambled eggs (2 free-range eggs scrambled, Canadian Bacon and 2 slices of homemade toast with homemade jam), […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Seattle, Part Four
July 10 – 13 We met Lincoln for dinner that night at Frank’s Oyster House and Champagne Parlor, just a couple of miles from our place and not far from UW, where he is a senior level administrator. I first met him in the late 1990’s when I was the Director of the Student Union […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Seattle, Part Three
July 10 – 13 We arrived at Lonnie and Steve’s house and while seated on their backyard patio Uncle Chuck and Aunt Chong made their appearance. This was our first-time meeting Steve and afterwards found ourselves sorry that we’d not had the chance to do so earlier in he and Lonnie’s long marriage. As for […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Seattle, Part Two
July 10 – 13 Our second day in Seattle was well thought out and if properly executed would see us knocking out 2-3 tourist attractions before heading to Steilacoom (just outside Tacoma) to meet up with my Uncle Chuck, his wife Chong, cousin Lonnie and her husband Steve. Our first stop was Safeco Field, where […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Russian Gulch State Park
June 27 – 29 After a pretty good breakfast at the Best Western, we loaded up the car and headed out, for what we’d originally anticipated would be a short drive, but turned out to be longer as we opted to head to Highway 1 instead of Highway 101 for the journey to Russian Gulch […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Petaluma
June 26 As we were meeting Joanna’s Uncle Matt and Aunt Shana in Napa at 10am, we got a move on early Tuesday morning, saying goodbye to Jessica and Kris as they went off to work, retrieving the car from the same garage we used before for $18, loading up, and hitting the road. Usually […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Henderson, Part Two
June 3 -6 The plan for Monday was to hang out in the morning, then head into downtown Las Vegas to tour the Mob Museum, grab a bite to eat and make it to my doctor’s appointment at 4pm. We’ve made a habit of visiting museums such as this one (Spy in Washington, East German […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Santa Fe, Part Three
May 29 – June 1 Our plan for the day was to drive to Los Alamos to tour the Bradbury Science Museum, part of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park which is comprised of various spots in the city. We figured we’d spend the day there and then return to town for dinner, first stopping […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Santa Fe, Part Two
May 29 – June 1 After breakfast in camp we drove back into Santa Fe, this time parking in one of the multi-story public garages for a fairly reasonable $11 for the whole day. With a few minutes to kill before the start of the tour and is our habit, we sought out coffee and […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Santa Fe, Part One
May 29 – June 1 With a seven-hour drive ahead of us we got on the road early, walking out the door with Bev as she left for work. We’d be splitting the 11-hour drive to Santa Fe into two stages, doing the lion’s share today with an overnight in Dalhart, Texas giving us a […]
