Burney Falls Camping Trip

Last Friday we took off for five nights of camping

Carmel by the Sea and Monterey

The first morning we walked to the beach.

Locke, California

Yesterday was a warm, sunny day and we had the day to goof off so we drove

Happy Wednesday on the Bay

Took the ferry from Vallejo to San Francisco this morning and we all had a good time. A perfect day to do this with our friends, Jan and Gary.

Last Tuesday we took off to the Monterey

Weekend at Cobb Mountain

We took off last Thursday afternoon

San Francisco Day Trip

Last Tuesday we went to the city to hang out with our friends, Janice and Gary.  Since Gary grew up in San Francisco, and knows it like the back of his hand, he did the driving which gave Michael the opportunity to just sit back and relax.  Mike enjoyed that.

We drove around.

Went to China Town.

Saw the Tiled Steps on 16th and Moraga.  Just a short walk away from these, are another set of tiled steps.  Sadly, we didn't see these though which are located at; 16th between Lawton and Kirkham.

Gennessee and Staples.

This ring of characters gave me an idea for a fun project of my own.

Gary took us to view the city to a place we'd never been.  What a fantastic view.

Twin Peaks view.

The Mission District:  Balmy Alley Murals.  Fantastic and fun artwork all over this neighborhood alleyways.  Gary took us down Balmy Alley.

Hi there, we're looking for Vermont Street, think we missed a turn somewhere.  Can you help us?    

San Francisco's lesser known (and most crookedest) street, Vermont Street.

Just a pretty view I captured while walking down Vermont Street.  

There goes Gary and Jan.

 

Just a pretty tree in bloom and some pretty steps.
