Vacation Week August

My hubby had a week vacation and we went somewhere everyday. Lake Chabot 9 mile hike, Pleasanton farmer's market, San Francisco to the Off The Grid Sunday where we had oxtail and grits (amazingly good) and walked by the Lucas Film studio in the Prisidio, the statue of Yoda is actually an outtake from the movies. Carmel there was a car show in the area all week and we saw Lamborghinis, Teslas, Feraris, and this Rolls Royce. And best of all we went to the San Jose Toy show and saw John Saxon, who was so gorgeous when I was a growing up I loved the Bold ones and Night Gallery (he was impressed and so happy I mentioned Night Gallery). He was there because he was in Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee. We bought a picture of him and Bruce for him to sign and then took his picture. Bruce Lee's sister was there unexpectedly and we took her picture. She is 75, I told her we visited her brothers grave a few years ago in Portland and that our son passed two years ago and she was very sympathetic and moved. There was even a game there that had my name on it and was made the year i was born, crazy.










I know the picture of John Saxon and me is blurry but it is a good picture and I don't remember why we were all laughing so much that even Dave was shaking the camera it was all so funny. The fountain is the Presidio in San Francisco, it is a beautiful area, looks like a collage campus with such large fully restored buildings and beautiful landscaping. In the Lucas Film building that we stumbled across going to the food trucks, inside we could see oscars and full replicas (not sure if they are the originals) of Darth Vadar and a storm trooper. So cool aparently  it is a 300 seat film studio and headquarters for Industrial Light and Magic.
The Bike I just got today in the mail free from my rewards points off of the American Express card. I love it!! I gave my other bikes to my kids so had none now I have new, yeah!
