Got up this morning and went down to breakfast to discuss the plans for the day. We decided that another trip to the zoo was in order, since we missed a chunk of it. On foot, it's hard to do that whole zoo in one day. I guess that's why a lot of people opt for the bus tour and then pick and choose the animals to see ( Read more... )

Sleeping on the fold-out couch-bed wasn't all it was cracked up to be, but this is certainly a nicer hotel than where we stayed in San Francisco. Sitting up on the 25th floor of this giganto-Sheraton above the symphony hall is pretty awesome. And the brunch here isn't bad either. I got my own pot of hot chocolate at breakfast while my parents had ( Read more... )

This morning, I got up in time for another trip out to Mel's Drive-in for breakfast with the parents. And since I'd been itching constantly to check out this arcade down at San Francisco State, I managed to bother my parents into making it part of the morning plans. Sam and Kelcie were out exploring and such, but we managed to pack everything up ( Read more... )

Today, I slept for quite a while before I managed to drag myself up and such to meet up with the parents. We headed out over the Golden Gate to Sausalito to check out my Uncle's pad, and to walk leisurely through the town. Pretty gorgeous actually. We strolled over to the docks to look at the immense number of boats, yachts, and houseboats sitting ( Read more... )

Today was the most walking I've done yet on this trip - I'm not sure how much more we'll do of walking tours after this, but I'm sure it'll be the most for the rest of the trip, too ( Read more... )

Today I had the chance to just sleep for a while, and eventually I got up to come downstairs and hang out with the parents. They returned from a walk when I got down there with some croissants and stuff for breakfast. Excellent. So we sat around and waited for Sam and Kelcie to come around so we could walk up to our destination for the morning, ILM ( Read more... )

Well I'm not sure how well I can do a top 10 this year, because compared to last year's fairly easy choices and big epic events, I didn't have that much going on. 2009 looks to be a pretty big contender with visiting the Pandas in San Diego, graduation, and possibly getting a job. But enough of next year, let's talk about what I did this year ( Read more... )

Turns out that awful awfulness from Tuesday was something many WashU students encountered this past week. Cases of viral gastroenteritis have gone way up recently, so they're telling everyone to just tough it out, I guess. Hooray ( Read more... )

On august 22nd, 2007 I had a very similar experience to this ( Read more... )
