It's Only Up From Here: August 2015

What makes a Champion?

I had a pretty good time in Monterrey Bay which I will capture in this blog post. An episode of big brother, watching a few polar plunges in the freezing central coast waters and a great chinese meal later, we hit the road again

Missed the shot at night

I knew it was coming up and I was able to get the Stadiums

Once again the mountains of the Bay Area take the trophy!

Entrance of San Jose State University

Oldest building on Campus

The bell had to go somewhere, why not here

Entering yet another valley on our way to Monterrey Bay

Anyone know what's on the other side?

Undoubtedly the craziest trees i've ever seen

Monterrey Pine in the spotlight

The City of Seaside

The Bay area and Silicon Valley were great to see. Im not a tech geek by any means, but driving past so many companies that have made such a profound impact on the world today was pretty cool. Next time I'll have to make sure and stop by Facebook, Google and Microsoft . Speaking of impact there's the billboard for the current NBA Champions #GoldenStateWarriors.

Freedom, a state of mind

The mountains turn into shore so quickly

San Francisco Ferry Building

The water is so beautiful

The typical San Fran street

Transamerica Pyramid; very cool building

The timing and traffic worked out better than anticipated and we were able to enjoy the city before nightfall:) As we drove back across the bridge we were able to take in some more of Silicon Valley before arriving to our hotel.
