I’ve seen the Memorial a number of times driving by the Lafayette BART Station. Thought I’d stop today and take a couple of pix.

Sunol Water Temple
I’ve driven by a few times but today I decided to stop and shoot a pano. The Sunol Water Temple just south of Hwy 84 between 680 & 880.
LDS Oakland
I’ve seen the temple from a distance at night from many different angles. I’ve always wanted to drive up there and photograph it. Well today is that day and/or evening.
Room with a view
It was bound to happen, that empty lot behind us is getting developed. Lucky for us the developer is working with the Association so I’m hoping for the best. They’re talking about a small café by the Ferry Terminal, that would be cool. Regardless our bay view will be changing this time next year.

Dine About Town Vol 1
Today we decided to take advantage of San Francisco’s 7th Annual Dine About Town. We chose B44 to, “Come and take home a slice of Catalan life in Barcelona, Spain”. Of course when food & alcohol are involved… we have to invite Jim & Kelly.
Napa Wine Tasting
Today Daddy wanted to go wine tasting in Napa. I got a recommendation to try a famous restaurant in Rutherford but by the time we got there it was an hour wait. So we drove down the road and ended up at “Go Fish“. The food and service were excellent. I loved the sturgeon, the …
