Sunday 29 May; El Cerrito and San Jose.

Nice morning in the Driveway of the Moran's.  Bella & I went out into a little bit of overcast, but not low fog.
We came back in and drank coffee, until Bloomie texted us a picture of himself inside Jim's having coffee so we went inside and joined he and Jim.  It is always fun to visit with them over coffee.  Dana got up and joined us as well.  We had some cantaloupe ad Aussie bites. It was fun.
I went in to shower and get ready to go to San Jose.
We went to San Jose to go and visit Sarah, Noel, and Liam.  Bella also met their dog Ekho  and their kitty Storm.  They all got along really well.
We visited then packed a lunch and headed off on bicycles.  We rode the bikes 9.5 miles to a big lake and beautiful park.  There were a lot of people Bar-B-Quing, gathering, partying, and having a really nice Memorial Day Sunday
We  found a spot near the Steam Railroad tracks. They used to bring Liam to this park when he was a little guy (he's14 now) and he loved to ride the train.  Bella enjoyed running around and sniffing a little while there.  
We ate our lunch then headed back.
We stopped in at a cool restaurant called The Table.  They specialize in handmade specialty cocktails.  I had a hand made (hand shook) Ramis Fizz.  It was really good.  We had an appetizer as well.  We were right across the street from "The Creamery" They were advertising Walt Disney's Pineapple Frost?!  So we decided we wanted one.  There was a line, and we stood in it, but it never moved.  Sarah, Noel, Liam and I walked further down the street to a candy store.  Rob stayed in line.  He had not moved by the time we came back, so he gave up.
We rode the rest of the way back to their house. We visited a little while and sampled some of Noel's home brewed Heileveisen beer.  It was really good.  After that we drove back to the Morans' driveway.  We watched a little TV and then went to bed.
It was a really fun day and really good to see Sarah, Noel, and Liam.  It has been a while since I've seen them.
