Oakland Museum of California

On my monthly business trips we often times are flying home on Saturday night so we made a day of it in the bay area. This trip we went to the museum and China town for lunch. 

I liked this painting. 

There was a whole Edith Heath collection. When we got home we watched a documentary on her. 

I am very fond of Rosie the Riveter items. 

I remember these signs when they went up along for 405 freeway. 

Where we had lunch of soup. 

And dessert. 

Can you tell which house has been renovated? It looked so beautiful, the picture does not do it justice. 

San Jose

 April 4th to 10th.  I was in San Jose for the week for work and this is a little peak into our week. 

One of our favorite restaurants, Somali food. 

This fish wrap is to die for. 

The cars that the rental company provide for us have really ranged widely over the year, this was the latest a noisy Dodge Challenger.

We also went out for Ethiopian food the plate looks pretty. Mostly a bunch of lentils. The bottom is a sort of bread that I like to call a sponge. 

We had to stay over a weekend unexpectedly due to the survey process of work. We headed out to a Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara which included this painting of a sink which I thought was apropos. 

Outside of  the museum had these Geese. 

Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front

Part of the National Park Service, I wanted to go to this museum in Richmond. A worthwhile day on one of my business trips to the bay area. 

Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front. 

Lake Merritt

 Lake Merritt 7/17/21. One of many trips to the bay area for work. This trip we headed to The Gardens at Lake Merritt which has a bonsai garden. 

Dinner with Julie

I try and see family and friends every time we go to the bay area. This trip we managed to have dinner with Julie. 

Golden Gate Park

10/4/2020. My first business trip to the bay area. Arrival day we spent some time in Golden Gate Park. I think we were just happy to get out of the house.
