Timeline: October 8-14 Jessica and Kris had a early flight out Monday morning and after we dropped them off at the airport, Kim, Marty, Joanna, and I drove west towards through Ocean Beach and Sunset Cliffs to Point Loma to spend some time at Cabrillo National Monument. On the way in, not long after you […]
Timeline: October 8-14 We departed Café Calypso and made the drive down to Solana Beach, an easy enough on a Saturday morning without much traffic, pulling up in front of the condo complex. Marty met us outside, directing us into the parking garage where we off-loaded our gear and got our first glimpse at their […]
Timeline: October 6-7 We spent a pleasant Wednesday night at Sheila and J.B.’s place ( one of the best parts of the trip has been the opportunity to spend quality time with people we don’t get to see too often) and took off Thursday morning to drive to Escondido to meet my former boss […]
Timeline: October 3-5 We left the apartment Monday morning not long after Jessica and Kris took off for work, a routine we’ve grown used to in the last few years given our frequent trips here. As we’ve done before we stopped at a Starbucks just off the I-580 around Livermore, then continued to the […]
Timeline: September 29 – October 2 After a better night’s sleep, we arose to a day with not much planned, just dinner out later on at Chez Panisse. While Kris and I hung out at the apartment, Joanna and Jessica spent the morning in Berkeley getting Joanna a new piercing for her ear. Later in […]
Timeline: September 29 – October 2 We took off for Oakland mid-morning, stopping in Redding to get gas and some cash from an ATM. From there it was a smooth and easy drive down I-5, I-505 and then the I-80 into the East Bay. The drive didn’t take that long, a little under four hours […]
Timeline: September 27-28 We ate breakfast in the room at the Budget Inn, checked out, gassed up next door at the Pilot, topped off the coffee mug and headed south on Highway 97 towards Klamath Falls and our destination for the next two nights, Mt. Lassen Volcanic National Park. It is centered around Lassen […]
Timeline: September 25-26 The next morning, we drove back to Crater Lake, entered the park and headed down the East Rim just past the Phantom Ship viewpoint to the turn off to the Pinnacles. A few miles down the road we parked and did a two mile out and back hike to Plaikni Falls. […]
Timeline: September 25-26 We accessed Crater Lake at the western entrance and drove straight to the Visitors Center, arriving right around 1pm. We had arrived just in time to take in the 20-minute informational film about the park which gave us very good background on the lake’s origins and explains its appeal. We then drove […]
Timeline: September 19-24 We arose the next morning ready for another big breakfast and weren’t disappointed. This is not fancy food, but it is good quality and there is plenty of it, something like eating at home if your Mom was a good cook. We made our own sandwiches this time, packed up our […]
