The latest two posts featured our most recent trip to Yosemite, a place we return to time after time. What is it about the park that has such a strong hold on us? The next couple of posts will attempt to shed a little light on the enduring attraction this magical place has for us. […]
February 25 – March 5, 2021 Breakfast in our rooms took us into the later morning and the four of us then took off in the Highlander to drive over to the Equestrian center where we parked and began a short hike to Mirror Lake. During the winter months the extensive shuttle system that operates […]
February 25 – March 5, 2021 On Tuesday Kim, Marty, Joanna and I took off for Yosemite, but with a check in time of 5pm there was no hurry to get out of Oakland. The drive would take us roughly four hours as we decided to try out a new route this time, taking Highway […]
February 25 – March 5, 2021 A couple of weeks later we took off for Oakland to spend five nights with Jessica, Kris and Gemma, to be followed by three nights in Yosemite. Kim and Marty joined us on Friday and on Saturday we hosted a BBQ on the roof of the apartment. James joined […]

December 2020 – January 2021 Not long after our run out to the Donut Hole and Tio’s Tacos, Kim and Marty invited us to join them at their condo in Solana Beach and without hesitating we said yes. And so, on Thursday the 14th we made the drive down, again a breeze with little or […]
December 2020 – January 2021 We parked the car in the dirt lot outside of the gift shop and hiking poles in hand, hit the trail for what would turn out to be an easy four-mile hike through various types of landscape. The first part of the walk took us past a couple of abandoned […]
December 2020 – January 2021 A couple of weeks after our return from the road trip we drove up to Oakland to help Jessica and Kris move into a two-bedroom apartment they’ve rented in their current building, with Kim and Marty joining the fun. Staying in this building proved to be the best possible option […]
November 2 – 13, 20 After the Museum we dropped off Dillon at his and McKenzie’s apartment, a nice two bedroom in a cool area of downtown and returned to the Airbnb to rest up before heading out again to meet them at our choice for dinner that night, Brewery Emperial. Seated outside underneath a […]
