Been at the ESRI Developer Summit in Palm Springs since Sunday. The drive out here was about 5, 5.5 hours but luckily Caleb drove the whole way. I am NOT looking forward to this drive by myself tomorrow! But I AM looking forward to seeing Jen and Kai… immensely. Anyways, we’re at the Hyatt Regency. …
Jen and I took a trip out to Shell Creek Rd. a few weeks ago to see nothing really blooming yet. I went out there today and was greeted with fields of yellow. I was hoping for a bit more variety, but it could just be that i’m still a bit early. At any rate, …
Took a trip to the Leaning Pine Arboretum on Cal Poly’s campus. Its out by the sheep. It was really nice, even though I went mid-day some of the pics turned out not half bad. This would be a great place to visit for anyone who enjoys flowers/plants and there were tons of birds there, …
We drove up to Prunedale today and met Mom and Dad, then caravan’ed to San Jose – dropped the truck off at Mike and Mary’s, and then met Gene and Kristine for lunch. Had a little coffee afterwards then headed back home. Quick little day trip, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.
Stopped in Santa Barbara for the CygNet dinner party. It was good, drunken times. Well… not for me, I ran around and took pictures of everything. And they let me! Here, Chris Smith took the camera from me. I am flanked by Mike and Chris here (from left to right). Good times, good times… …
Took a nice trip up to Tahoe for a snowboarding weekend. Marcia was gracious enough to let us use the cabin, so we all had a nicely affordable place to stay. We had a bit of a conversation trying to figure out who was going to get chains, if anyone had 4WD, etc. when …
Mike and Mary treated us all to a nice relaxing weekend at the Carmel Valley Lodge, the same place that we had a nice weekend a couple years ago. Its out in Carmel Valley (obviously) and is close to a nice tiny downtown area, a lot of restaurants, and even more wineries. Monterey County has some …
Dave and Samantha had their engagement party at Gianni’s Pizza on Lighthouse in Monterey – I love their pizza. Its just soo tasty! The party was a ton of fun: food, drinks, and a bunch of people having a good time – what more could you ask for? And in addition to THAT, Dave wet …
We took off just before noon and headed away from Bear River and over to Hwy 1 and the coast. Windy roads are fun and all, but not for five hours! Well… unless you’re on a motorcycle. We stayed in Salt Point State Park at the Woodside Campground, which was super clean and really nice …
What a great week of camping so far! This is the “old cabin” that we all used as a common eating place and food storage. We spent the entire trip sleeping in the tent trailer with Mike and Mary (that mattress seems to be much more comfortable than my Thermarest as of late). The rest …
