Day 13 Recap, mostly
We started the day exploring the mysteries of the Winchester House before hitting San Francisco to check out the Painted Ladies, eat sushi with Twitter friends, and then zoom across the Golden Gate Bridge. We made the sad, sad decision to abort our jaunt up the coast and started heading East on I-80. We have to be in Chicago by Friday, so we have to sacrifice Portland and Seattle this trip.

Day 11 Recap!
Woke up this morning in Winchester, CA where we stayed with Joe & Amelia. Super nice! Amelia took us to breakfast at Chris’ Burger where we had pancakes in George’s honor. She also took us around Diamond Reservoir, which is the largest in California. We debated for a while why it was okay for fish to be in the water, but human swimming wasn’t allowed. Seemed strange since the water would … Read entire article »
