I was so thrilled to host my good friend Sharan and her son for their first trip to California!
Obligatory Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands stop!
San Francisco and Alcatraz
Redwood trees, shoreline and coast.
Our friends Mark and John got us concert tickets (unfortunately they weren’t around when we took these photos). Because of them, we saw a wonderful show with some great drag performers in downtown San Francisco. We then ran into some other good friends at the Lone Star Saloon in SOMA.
I hadn’t seen my dad’s cousin Kathleen in years and was recently connected with some of her nieces and sister through Ancestry.com and online with Facebook, so it was about time to visit her and see her, which was such a joy. Not only is Monterey a beautiful place to visit, but it’s also nice to know my dad is from such a place where he still has relatives that remember him fondly.
We woke up xmas morning with our housemate John and the dogs. Our other housemate Tony was on vacation. It’s a long and probably boring video, but it documents a nice holiday.
