We're back home and almost caught up on my chores/e-mails. Now we are hunkered down waiting for TS Eduardo to make landfall in Galveston. Meanwhile, I thought I would post up a few note from our recent trek to the west coast.
Good trip. Cost me more than a few pennies, but worth it. Pulled a few days in San Jose, California visiting with my son. We got to tour San Francisco and saw most of the high points. Was not able to score tickets to Alcatraz but did take a 4- hour tour of town and got to see most of the normal tourist spots. Coit Tower, Lombard Street, Chinatown, Haight-Ashbury, Golden Gate Park, Golden Gate Bridge, the Presidio, Pier 39 just to name a few. Even got to see several famous houses you may have seen on tv/movies (the house in Mrs Doubtfire, the house in Full House, various sights around time for movies scenes (Bullit, What's Up Doc?). Spent one day in Sonoma doing the wine tasting gig before heading back to San Jose. There is a great park that overlooks the city & bay (great photo op). Lots of cool history. Could easily spend 4-5 days there exploring the town but had to head north to Seattle. More on that trip next.

Glad you had a good time. Great pics! I'll have to show my daughter. She used to love Full House & she'll get a kick out of seeing that the houses in the opening credits are real.
