Life of Wry

I posted a lot of pictures and commentary already from the week-ish I just spent with Judy in Dillon Beach. But I wanted to post a few more photos also taken that week, both before Judy arrived, as well some taken in Dillon (or environs) of things that I want to remember… so here goes:

First off, in preparation for our road trip, I got the car washed. Not normally a big deal, but since our Davis car wash was closed (it was a Monday), I tried a new place — Five Star Car Wash. And wowie… that was quite a car wash.

You remain in your car for the first part, then at the end, you give it up to a crew that goes to work on every nook and cranny. I must say that I was pretty proud of my clean wheels when, a couple days into our trip, we had to stop in Pt. Reyes Station to fix a nail-induced leak!

This is what the sky looked like as I drove to the airport to fetch Judy on Monday (June 12):

Judy and I stopped in Petaluma on our way to Dillon. We met Jim, a friend of Judy’s for decades and a long time work colleague. Super warm, delightful guy. Great lunch at Cafe Paradiso.

We ate dinner that night at Nick’s Cove.. another great dining choice and a potential place to stay, too! They have cottages on the water (literally).

I took lots of pictures of spring flora.. it was a stunning time to be hiking on the coast. Here’s one I don’t think I’ve posted yet.. not sure what it is.

And finally, a couple shots of Camp David, the Airbnb we stayed at on Ocean St. Will be happy to stay there again.
