Road Trip 2k10 San Francisco

Here we go with round two from our trip and heading into San Francisco.

Fled Red Bluff since it was on track to hit 107 degrees that day and it was hot most of the way.  As we approached Vallejo, we spotted the Marine layer and knew we were in for some classic chilly summer San Francisco fun.

Sunflower farm as we bypassed Sacramento...


Another farm landscape shot (lots of Hay around this time of year)...


Met up with Phredd and Sonia and headed straight to our favorite Oyster Bar in the country...


Definitely worth the wait (about 45 minutes).  We both had Dungeness Crab Cocktails, split a dozen mixed up Miyagi oysters, Smoked Salmon on Bread and of course, an ice cold Anchor Steam on draft.


Funny about the beer situation.  While we were eating, a southern good ole boy stepped up to the bar to order a beer while he and his wife waited and asked what they had.  The server mentioned Anchor Steam (SF's local Brewer for God's sake) and the guy kinda grumbled if they had any American beers like a Budweiser.  The server then naturally replied that Budweiser is actually a Belgium company.  I don't think the guy heard him but, that was righteous.  He ended up getting a Stella Artois and a Bud light.  Both Belgium Beers!

Next up, Zeitgeist, to hang out with Mimi and Pete...


Fawzi and Josie partying at Heather's pad...


Thanks Heather and Doug for letting us crash at your place.  It worked out perfectly!

Well, we had a blast in SF as usual but, it was freezing cold as usual too.

San Francisco Treat

The 3 nights/2 Days in SF were a whirlwind of fun and seeing old pals.  Loads of fun and we were even treated to a short hail storm while we were there.

Sunday entailed surprising Prez at the 500 Club.  We arrived first and then Phredd came in to great fanfare.  We also hit the Lucky 13 with a decent sized group since Lotta was working.

We had Alaska King Crab the night before with Heather & Doug and I used the leftovers to prepare a great scrambled eggs with crab and mozzarella.


Fawzi, Heather & Phredd...


John went home and grabbed his camera (which was awesome) and he put these up on Flickr.  Click on the link and the slide show button upper right.

Then on Monday, Susan, Heather, Doug & Emma Jean hit the payground...



Then we all met up at the Zeitgeist where we were treated to hail.  It was a blast to hang with the likes of Mimi, Deano and the gang.  This was the hail from that day...





On Tuesday, before we hit the road to Arcata CA, I felt I had earned the right to wear the Beer Goggles...

Spontaneous Foot Rub

Goes a long way most days.

No Kung Fu Fightin This Day


Gina and Andrew's Kids (Simone & Layla) came over to hang with Doug & Heather's Kid (Emma Jean) at home and at Dolores Park.

Dinner for 6 at 7?

Dinner at Blue Plate last night was great.
Blue Plate

Lorrie was nice enough to punch me in the arm several times and that will stay with me for a couple of days.

Dos Burritos!

Finally! A pair of righteous burritos.

78 Degrees


Rolled into town (SF) to the BEST WEATHER EVER! Off to Dolores Park with Heather and Emma Jean.

En Route to San Francisco

Love the fact that this little number actually has wheels. It would have been easy to just hitch up and go. However, this could have gotten us in trouble with the law.
