The East Bay has gotten a ton more murals since I lived here as a kid, but here are two of my favorites. Very Hollywood and Xanadu-like, right?

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.
