Fly Fishing Camp

Day FOUR SanFran.

This day would amount to a ton of driving. It would all be okay because Julian, the BEST "Californian Driver", would navigate the way, with the help of Pop, to Atherton for breakfast at Dreagers. Dreagers is pretty much a mecca for anyone who loves organic and original foods. After browsing the store we walked thought the Farmer's Market and tasted some of the best peaches and strawberries you could ever imagine. We then all piled back into the van and flew down the road to Gillroy. We decided in the morning that we would for-go Mom's 17 mile drive down to Pebble Beach because it would be to much on the babies and Pop! Gillroy was about 45 minutes down the road, it's famous for their garlic, many call it the Garlic Capital of the World. We stopped at two markets sampling pickled garlic, garlic chips and garlic chocolate ice cream. Yes the ice cream was good. After we stunk of garlic we headed home for an early dinner at Pop's favorite Chinese restaurant. Dinner was good especially the Mongolian beef... tons of grilled green onions! After dinner we all took it easy, later that night Kent, Kim and Company came over to visit from their home outside of the city. When I went to bed I could still taste the garlic.

The Return to Tin Foil!

The Big Catch!

Horsey Food

Day THREE SanFran.

Day 3 started early with the arrival of Celia around 11 or 12am I can't remember. Needless to say we met up with Nana and Sissy, who had taken a Taxi, on the way back from the baseball game at In & Out, I think when your a Riley and in California it's prerequisite to eat there no matter what the time! Later that morning we all awoke and got our walkn' shoes on for the morning walk across the Golden Gate bridge. The fog was still thick from the last night, so our walk was kinda "clouded". Nana dropped her bother off while we were there to enjoy the sights. After walking on eggshells we headed over to Alamo Square Park and enjoyed hand made sandwiches from a corner deli. Lunch disappeared as fast as it showed up. The park offered us cool breezes and a chance to throw the baseball around. After the park we headed home for naps. Alicia and I rest shortly and then headed out for our 6th anniversary date down on Pier 39. We ate at Chowders just as we did on our honeymoon, after which we walked down the street and enjoyed the street performers of the Pier. We got home in time to kiss the kids good night.
