My sista came to visit, and we had a great time just hanging out. Surprisingly, she didn’t want to do the usual tourist stuff, so instead we visited Apple, Google, Cisco and the Gilroy Outlets. I also showed her around Mountain View, and we went to my favorite little pub for dinner. The food and beers were great, but I think I got my sister hooked on Lemon Drops.
We tried to do a tour of Apple, but they wouldn’t let us in….we didn’t take it personally… they just don’t give tours…top secret stuff going on there. We did go to the Company Store though, and my sister thought she was in heaven. I think I actually saw her skipping through the store a few times. Check out Donna’s t-shirt in the picture..."I visited the Mothership." She is not a Sci Fi geek... it is referring to Apple.
Gilroy is the garlic capital of CA. That is not the main reason we went there, it is also the home of 150 outlet stores. You can’t get away from the garlic smell when you are anywhere near the place, it permeates everything. I loved it! Donna …not so much! Lots of laughs.
We headed down to LA on Friday for the weekend. It took us about 6 hours to get there. The ride is beautiful. The vastness of the land out here never ceases to amaze me. We met up with the kids for dinner. Guess what? They picked out a great Italian restaurant ….more GARLIC!
