(As always, higher res versions of my photos can be found here) On Wednesday Sam and I packed our bags and walked to the San Francisco Civic Center BART stop. BART took us to SFO and from there it was on to Seattle. That night all but one of B’s groomsmen arrived and we (and Sam […]
Tuesday in San Francisco
(As always, much more and higher res photos can be found here) On our last full day in the city Sam and I started out from our north Panhandle apartment by going south through the park and up the hill to Haight and Ashbury. We walked down Haight all the way to Golden Gate Park where we […]
Monday in San Francisco
(As always, much more and higher res photos can be found here) On Monday we had to find a quick cab to the northeast side. We started our day with a trip to TCHO Chocolate Factory. The actual tour was very short, but I think people just go for the chocolate tasting afterwards. It’s a bit like […]
Sunday in San Francisco
(As always, much more and higher res photos can be found here) On Sunday we had lunch with D & G, Sam went to elementary school in Thailand with G. After lunch at a French Bistro they drove us to Sports Basement where we rented bikes. We took a leisurely ride across the Golden Gate […]
OSU vs. Cal
On Friday Sam and I headed to LAX to catch an 8pm flight to San Francisco. Because of “fog” (how unexpected for San Francisco!) our flight was delayed by two hours. We finally arrived at our airBnB rental long after midnight but were pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. We’d probably have to […]
Denver Tuesday
On our last day we “took it easy,” joining J, J &N for breakfast before a trip to the Denver Botanical Gardens in the morning, just a few blocks from their house. We saw some tiny hummingbirds (yes, tiny by hummingbird standards) and I struggled to get a shot. There were no good clear […]
Monday in Denver
On Monday we walked to Snooze’s for breakfast and returned with take-out to eat with J, J, J’s mom and little N. Around noon we headed west again, driving past the old Argo mine in Idaho Springs again before heading south and up Mt. Evans. The highway going to the peak of Mt. Evans is […]
Sunday in Denver
On Sunday we stopped by Whole Foods before heading to Red Rocks. Red Rocks amphitheater would undoubtedly be a great place to see a concert, but after seeing Zion National Park and the red rocks in Arizona, these Red Rocks were not as impressive. We walked up around one of the trails and then consulted […]
Saturday in Denver
On Saturday immediately following the closing whistle of the OSU opening game Sam and I headed to LAX to catch our flight to Denver. We needed to drop off the car at a parking lot first. Sam had reserved a spot weeks in advance, however, when we reached the parking lot there was a cone […]
