Travels Near and Far. Sunday, March 22, 2015. In the strait that separates. Perched on a tiny island sits the East Brother Light Station Dinner, Bed and Breakfast. Lou and I have considered an overnight stay at this Victorian lighthouse for years. It is a bit adventurous and pretty pricey but he surprised me with a night's stay for my 65th birthday yesterday. Does my guy know how to give the best birthday presents or what? The small boat used to take guests to. Oh, and me, too - ready for my birthday adv...

Travels Near and Far. Tuesday, October 29, 2013. CHARLEY ELLEN IS TWO! This past Saturday, we all traveled to Meadow Vista (just past Auburn) to help Charley Ellen celebrate her second birthday with friends and family. It boggles my mind that this beautiful little girl is two years old already. I mean, really, when did this happen? She is such a cutie with her big, blue eyes and wild, blonde curls. Gaga and Charley in 2011 on her first Halloween at five days old - such a tiny baby! CRUISIN' THE BLACK, MA...

Travels Near & Far: July 2014
http://kat-silver.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Travels Near and Far. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. I just took one of my favorite trips again yesterday - down the road on a walk with my Charley Ellen. My granddaughter is fast becoming my best companion! At 2-1/2 she is so vocal, quite opinionated and the best conversationalist. Yesterday on our walk Charley was totally cooperative with taking a few cell phone selfies. Here are our best ones. But it was totally worth it to spend time with my sweetie and get these great pix!

Travels Near and Far. Saturday, June 20, 2015. We walked in our door last night at 1:15 AM, after our last flight of the day from. Was delayed 1-1/2 hours. Plus we were up at 2:30 AM five days prior for our ridiculously early outbound flight. I'm not sure about Lou but I'm getting too damn old for these kinds of crazy hours. We were both wiped out by the time we reached the Grand Coulee Dam. On our way back to. We happened on a small town that had us thinking we took a wrong turn and ended up in. One par...

Travels Near and Far. Saturday, July 27, 2013. STUCK IN LODI, AGAIN. About 10 years ago, I lived in Lodi for a year – and I loved that little city! It has a really cute downtown area, around 60,000 people and everything you will likely need in about a four square mile area of small town charm. John Fogarty and Creedence were way off base when they sang about being “stuck in Lodi, again”. It's a great place to be stuck! I would occasionally walk from my apartment in Lodi about two miles to downtown just t...

But back there the natives change the emphasis saying “Wi-SCAWNSIN”. Wisconsin Gas Building - one of several Art Deco buildings in downtown Milwaukee. Built in the 1870s, the North Point Water Tower in Milwaukee on the shore of Lake Michigan looks more like a castle. Our first full day we packed in a ton of activities as usual. The Capt...

Travels Near and Far. Friday, April 25, 2014. DAY TRIPPIN' AT MICKE GROVE PARK. Lou suggested that we take a ride to. It’s pronounced “Mickey” as in Mickey Mouse. We packed a picnic lunch and headed on down the road. It turned out to be a great choice on a beautiful day. Our first stop was the. The ponds and stepping stones meander all through the Japanese Gardens in Micke Grove Park. A Japanese Maple tree and brightly colored azaleas added some color to the grounds of the gardens. After lunch we strolle...

Travels Near and Far. Saturday, May 2, 2015. UC DAVIS ARBORETUM REVISITED. Back on Valentine's Day we wandered about the UC Davis Arboretum. It was the second time we had visited in February and we made the decision to come back later in the spring to see more of the flowers in bloom. This morning we enjoyed a 1-1/2 hour walk along the outdoor arboretum. These are a type of giant poppies that were in full bloom. The flowers were 4 - 6 inches across. I know this because there was a sign. And, of course, w...
