West Coast Spring 2018 – Morro Bay, Part One
June 18 – 20 With a familiar four-hour drive ahead of us to Morro Bay, we dawdled leaving Oakland, timing it so that we departed not long after Jessica and Kris left for work, needing to leave before 10am regardless as our on the street nearby expired at that time. On the road, just as […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Oakland, Part Two
June 14 – 17 After returning to the apartment, I cleaned up and then Kris, James and I drove up to Berkeley to visit one of our favorite breweries, Jupiter. By a stroke of luck, we found on street parking directly behind the place and after entering, were seated outside on the back patio, the […]
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 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 – Henderson, Part One
June 2 – 6 With a ten-hour drive ahead of us to get to Meadview, Arizona and our stay with my Aunt Agnes (Aggie) and Uncle Dick (Jim to his friends; it’s a long story, my family’s penchant for nicknames. We won’t go into it here), we got up early, broke camp quickly and were […]
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 […]
