George Hatfield Park, California

Today we will be going to a park closer to home. Its the New Year and Deelow decided to go to another park with the dogs. Like I have mentioned before, dogs aren’t allowed in most state parks so I picked this simple park in the central valley.  Dad, Deelow, and I together with all… Read More George Hatfield Park, California

Candlestick Point, California

It was a gloomy day, I said that because the clouds were dark and an impending rain was coming to the area. Deelow, Ollie and I with the dogs Corvo and Yusuf drove to Dublin and pick Ta Vans. (We didn’t bring the other two dogs because they don’t go well with huge crowds.)  We… Read More Candlestick Point, California

Turlock Lake Park, California

Dad kept saying last night that we will be visiting a park to walk the dogs and a bit of walking ourselves. He first suggested Pacheco State Park but we later found out that pets are not allowed on trails so we looked for another spot and found Turlock Lake Recreation, State Park. So with… Read More Turlock Lake Park, California

There were more places to see in the city of Folsom, and after leaving the Folsom Prison, we went back to the previous destination that we missed, the Folsom Powerhouse State Historic Park.

Folsom State Prison, California

Another day and another adventure again, so with the parents and Sam we drove to another park.

Golden Gate Theater, California

Today was a short blog because basically, it was about a theater. There were plenty of theaters in the city of San Francisco and the Bay Area. The reason that I’m going to talk about this particular place is that this is where Ta Vans and I will be watching a Broadway musical. The classic… Read More Golden Gate Theater, California

Randy’s Donuts, California

It was late at night around 2 or 3 am when my alarm started buzzing. I opened my eyes and turned it off, and then across the room I yelled at Long. He wasn’t a heavy sleeper so he woke up. I told him its time to go to Randy’s Donuts, and I asked him… Read More Randy’s Donuts, California

Angels Flight, California

Tasting and deciding what to try next took a toll on us, so finally I convinced Long to go and check out the Angels Flight which was literally outside the market. He was very reluctant to go but when we crossed the street and asked the people how much the fare was, I confidently told… Read More Angels Flight, California

Its been awhile since my last adventure and another walk with nature and history wouldn’t be so bad. So with the perfect timing, no rain and the weekend I finally decided to head on to Alum Rock Park with my Mom who came to visit.

Darcie Kent Vineyards, California

After exploring the Concannon Vineyard and Wente Winery, we went on to our next destination the “Darcie Kent Vineyards.” To be honest, we all knew that the three of us were all kind of drunk now, but still, wine tasting seems to lift up the spirits and our senses. This is the first winery on… Read More Darcie Kent Vineyards, California

San Barnabas Church, Venice

We passed through the Venetian rivers and saw other more interesting buildings which we would unfortunately have to skip. After five to six stops from the Piazza San Marco we finally descended the boat bus at San Toma station. From there we followed my phone’s GPS and we passed by several small bridges and to… Read More San Barnabas Church, Venice

We thought Magen would come with me and Kuya Bob to the Mercey Hot Springs tomorrow, but she made a last minute decision of not going.

Mussels Hunting, California

Today was another adventure, and a little bit different. I usually explore something historical but today we will go through my Marine Biologist skills. We’ve been planning this trip for several weeks now and we always failed to due to the rain and the low tide schedules. But now we finally made it to Bodega… Read More Mussels Hunting, California

Glen Canyon Dam, Arizona

After our breakfast in our favorite diner Denny’s, we drove to the Glen Canyon Dam Overlook.

Hetch Hetchy, California

Visiting Hetch Hetchy has been on my list for some time now. Since I did a little research about the lost valley, sunken underneath a reservoir.

Glass Beach, California

Christmas Eve and Deelow wanted to go for another adventure with the dogs. So with her, Sam, Me, and the dogs Chloe, Corvo, and Yusuf drove to Fort Bragg about three hours from where we were.

Colton Hall, California

After visiting the Monterey Base and the exchange, we went back to the hall we passed by earlier. We parked at the front and we were lucky there were still some spots left. Deelow and I have visited the place before in 2009, but we did not explore the building itself. So with Deelow, our… Read More Colton Hall, California

Frankenstein Castle, Hesse

It was another day for some fun and adventure as I always say. Deelow was eager to explore too since it was her off. I did a little bit of research and learned that Castle Frankenstein was in Germany! It’s an hour away from where we were staying. So we left around 9 in the… Read More Frankenstein Castle, Hesse
