Highlights of my California Trip

Here's the highlights of my recent California Trip (in no particular order)

Whale Watching in Monterey
Seeing nature in the wild makes me feel so alive!! This experience was amazing.



Football Game in Oakland
I had no idea what was going on most of the time but I still enjoyed it immensely


398 Brasserie
So good we ate here 3 mornings in a row.  And they make great Bloody Mary's too!


Santa Cruz Beach
And drinks on our balcony looking at the beach


Cable Car Tour with Bar in San Francisco
Ridiculous amount of fun aboard and we stopped off for a great Irish Coffee in Buena Vista Cafe

Olympic Club 
Ciaran thought it was the nicest club he ever played in - and there was some pretty good squash played there too in the O'Stillman Cup


Betty's Burgers in Santa Cruz
Had the "Bareback burger" with Betty's special lube - otherwise known as a Burger with burger sauce but no bun!

Petroglyph in Santa Cruz
We each painted a mug and then picked them up a few days later when they had been fired.  

Pacific Grove Movie Theatre
Old school fun!

Getting a pedicure on the night before we flew home


Eating in China Town in San Francisco
I've always wanted to do this.  The food was fine but the atmosphere was amazing!

Roof top eating in Cheese Cake Factory (Union Square) 
And take away cheese cake slice!

Bus Tour in SF that took us over the Golden Gate Bridge
Fierce cold and windy - it brought tears to our eyes....but so worth it!

Frank Lloyd Wright Building


Waking up to this view!!
In Santa Cruz (Casablanca on the Beach)

And watching the lads play football as the sun went down

What a trip and great memories for life!
