Kim and I took a little break and went to visit Mike and Beth in Left side of the country — San Francisco! They actually live in San Jose, but who is counting.
We got to do lots of sights, sounds and smells. Had some great meals, great mini-trips and all-around had a great time.
Had some photos in the camera that never got posted…
Here are some from Kim’s sisters Labor Day party…
And from a recent apple picking trip to Linvilla Farms.
My dad organized a charter fishing trip with the Rothstein Family. We chartered a boat with Benchmark Sportfishing. It was a great boat, very clean, well staffed and flexible. We had a great time. We caught so many bluefish that within the first hour of fishing, we started to throw them back. Towards the late morning, we switched the tackle and moved to bottom fishing for fluke and sea bass.
The fishing is much slower for these fish, but the eating is much better. I ended up getting a monster fluke. It was 27 inches and 7.5 pounds. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, but Captain Nick had one.
The group and our fish:
Kim and I had a wedding to attend in Pittsburgh. So, we decided to meet up with my friend Paul, his wife Jordy and his son Jack and go visit the Phipps Conservatory. It was a great visit and I was able to take some nifty pictures of all of the flowers and plants. Of course, we also made a obligatory visit to Primanti Brothers in Oakland.
Kim and I took a vacation to Paris, France with a side trip to Normandy. Overall, we had a great time, took lots of pictures and ate way too much food. The weather was not great, but we got through it in one piece.
Oh, one last thing - Kim and I got engaged on this attraction…
