Sunday outing

and of course I forgot to add this picture, so it was put first after I got the blog all done, anyway this is where we stayed Sunday night after we dropped Dennis off at his place, we then drove to San Jose and stayed at the 'Fairmont" on the 17th floor, it was a fun trip, and I definitely want to go to Salsalito again





We saw this crop duster on our way to Felton

Had breakfast with my brother, Dennis, and he ended up going with us on our Sunday drive


Half Moon Bay, I took a picture of my brother and I with my iphone, but when I downloaded it, it was sideways, oh well, still learning to use my new iphone

of course we drove to San Francisco



this statue was on the other end of the Golden Gate Bridge

these buses were behind us, and the one on the left decided it was going to pass, as we are turning into the visitor center, so the bus on the right zoomed up and cut him off, and stopped and got out and waved us and about 4 or 5 other cars by, it was too funny

this is a Subaru, in Salsalito, of course it was parked


these mailboxes belong to the houses that are on water, I guess boats converted into houses

this was a yellow house on water

this one was cute, and this lady just came from their community garden

the people that live in the house boats, community garden in Salsalito

a hot house in the community garden


these ropes were really huge


Salsalito, a cute little town, I want to go back

we ate at a hole-in-the-wall place for lunch, it was really good...the Salsalito Taco Shop, fish tacos that were so good


and next time we are going to take this boat from the pier in San Francisco to Salsalito, the line of bikes and people going back to SFO was amazing

A very Dear Family (Fred and Betty Grant) my family grew up with, we camped together, played together, us girls swam together and whatever else, we had tons of fun...there  were 7 of them and 7 of us

Then on Sunday afternoon I picked dad up in SLO, he rode the bus down there, and we went out to Los Osos to see the solar eclipse, it was too hard to see, but this picture is from up one of the streets looking down to Morro Bay
