Pics from the Big Fourth of July Trip to NoCal!

Well, we finally got out of dodge for a few days and here are the pics I took:

This shot I took from the plane at LAX before we even took off. Don't know why, just did.

This is a great example of SF/Oakland architecture. TheWife says that house has been on that spot for over 100 years. Pretty wild when you think about how most Americans can't remember what happened last month...

I have no idea where these next pictures were taken because I wasn't precisely familiar with where we were. I know we were in Oakland, but that's about it.

This next pic I took because it was of some writing on the back of a sign that only people in the water or on a boat could read.

More random shots on the waterfront:

This next pic is rated are because it uses the "f" word to mean sexual intercourse!! If you're under 13 DON'T LOOK AT THIS PIC WITHOUT PERMISSION OF YOUR PARENTS!! BOTH! I WANT A SIGNED PERMISSION SLIP IN MY EMAIL INBOX BEFORE YOU LOOK AT THE BELOW IMAGE YOUNG PERSON!!

This is a pic of a message/design carved into a not-yet-dried block of cement that later became a sidewalk:

In Oakland there's a guy who owns a local movie house and he uses part of the marquis to talk politics. My kinda guy. :) Here are a couple of pics I snapped of the marquis from last weekend:

Here's a slightly closer, but crappier focussed pic:

And here's TheWife sound asleep at her sister's boyfriend's place. That's Jupiter his cat, claiming her as his own. :)

Here are some views from the balcony of TheWife's sister's old apartment. We helped her move to her new place. I can't believe she's leaving such a great view behind. :(

And here are some cute pics of TheWife and I waiting for our plane to leave at OAK to come back to LA:

Man, I have no pictoral proof that I saw family at all over our trip! ACK! I need to take more pictures of HUMANS. For all you know we broke into some house that had a cat and just posed for that pic!

Ah well. :(

Better luck next vacation! (I wonder when that'll be!)
