Computer History Museum & Baylands Nature Preserve

For my daughter’s 23rd birthday, she wanted to go to the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, where we saw some amazing exhibits, took a tour with a docent.  We were allowed to photograph her in a self-driving car.  Later, in Palo Alto, we went to the Baylands Nature Preserve, which I had not visited since 2007.

July 4 Pool Party in Livermore

It was also Ray Squared’s birthday party and the big FOUR OH for the red-headed Ray Lillie.  The couple known as Ray and Ray have both of their actual birthdays on July 3 (as well as sharing a name).  July 3 was when I had my birthday party this year, which they attended, even though my actual birthday is the day before.

 

Moss Beach and Montara for Joe’s 46th Birthday

Shando and I took the Yorkies to the Distillery at Moss Beach, and then further north to Montara, where we sadly saw this dead sea lion with a decayed face resembling a log from a distance.  I speculated that it probably crawled up on the beach to die and the birds had picked to dine on its face.

On a happier note, Monte really impressed me with fetching a frisbee for the first time.  I’m so happy that Shando was able to get this video of Monte’s technique for picking up the frisbee in the sand.
