Day Trip to San Francisco

Image
Miles and I were itching to go somewhere (especially since we don't have any snow up here in South Lake Tahoe right now, sigh) so we decided to take a day trip to the San Francisco Bay area. Miles wanted to check out North Beach, the "Little Italy" of San Francisco, and get some authentic Italian style pizza, so that's what we did.  Afterwards we walked up to the wharf to say hi to the Sea Lions.  Salt Springs Reservoir   At KSQL     North Beach, San Francisco, CA North Beach   Miles trying Smoked Salmon Pizza at Il Casaro       Amazing deserts at Stella Pastry   The famous Pier 39 Sea Lions   Alcatraz Playing classics at Musee Mecanique   Back to the Sierra Nevada mountains.        

Flight to Death Valley

We took the T210 down to Furnace Creek, Death Valley national park. Here's some snapshots in no particular order (LOL): And a video of the landing:

"Full Boat" - flew to Lompoc, CA to watch the Falcon 9 launch

I flew down to Lompoc, CA on Sunday with Miles, and our friends the Baalmans (Gary, Laura, & their two kids) to watch the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch at Vandenberg AFB. This was the first Falcon 9 "return to land" on the west coast, and it went spectacularly. We found a great viewing spot along HWY 1 overlooking the launchpad.
