Hiking at Rancho
Think we found a wedding venue
We think we’ve found a wedding venue, Garden Court Hotel in Palo Alto.
Season 7 – 24
There’s something a little wrong with the 24 Fox website. Â Apparently 25% if now more than 49%
Cycling into work again
Looking at more wedding venues
Today we looked at more venues for our wedding. Â Garden Court Hotel, Four Seasons, Sheraton, Westin and Stanford Park hotels in Palo Alto. Â My personal favorite of the day was Garden Court Hotel. Â It’s a lot larger than I thought.
Dinner at Los Altos Grill
Rather than cook at home we met up with Nikki’s parents at Los Altos Bar & Grill. Â The place was packed with families who appeared to be doing the same. Â Now, I’ve been there a lot recently and have been getting hooked on the Prime Rib sandwich. Â However, for a change I had the Bangers and Mash. Â It’s really nice, the sausages are well seasoned and exceptionally large.
Go Giants
Work had arranged a team outing to a Giants game with tailgating before.
This was a great work event, we sat on the trolley car on the far side of the stadium with beers.  I couldn’t tell you the final score as we left just before the end to head over to Zeitgeist for more drinks.  Of course we couldn’t take the company provided travel home so we finally got the train at about 11pm.  More photos
Visiting Carmel with my parents
Amazingly it’s the first time I’d been down to Carmel. Â Nikki thought it would be nice for my parents to visit there again. Â We had a nice lunch, walk on the beach and then drive down to Big Sur.
Parents visiting
My parents finally came to visit again
We took them everywhere on this trip, easy bay, Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Palo Alto, Mountain View. Â They also took a few days to head down to the rain in San Diego. Â It worked out that their last day here was also Mothering Sunday so we went to Trader Vics for brunch.
