| Garlic Festival, July 29 | |
| Went to the annual Garlic Festival at Gilroy, CA.
Supposedly, this is a real happening event. It was hot, crowded and there really wasn't that much to see. I mean, how much can you celebrate about Garlic? |
 Rammy, Cecelia, Tina, Craig and Karen eating garlic ice cream |
 The bands were actually pretty good |
 I don't think we'll be coming back next year. Tina and Joe shows garlic spirit |
| Guy's & Girl's Day Out, July 22 | |
| While the Guys (Tom, Ken, John and Joe) took a Voice Over IP class, the Girls spent the day hiking in the sun. Who's the smarter group? ----> |  May, Karen, Lydia, Tina |
| Joe's Trip to Dallas for SpikeFest '00, July 14-17 | |
| Joe's annual pilgrimage to SpikeFest at Dallas
begins. It's is a huge volleyball tournament that's held in Addison, TX each
year. Michelle, Mark and Joe have played together for 4 years. This year we didn't do so well, since Joe's a little bit out of shape, but regardless, it was great seeing everyone in Dallas again ----> |
 Group playing vball in a park Jackie, Michelle, Leslie, Cindy, Chen-Chen John, Joe, Michael, Mark |
| Joe's excuse for losing the tournament? He wanted to visit his church Legacy of the Risen King on Sunday ----> |  Eating with Joe's Dallas church (LRK) group Rhapsody, Mike, Ash, Scotty, JoLynn, Jasmine, Morris, Joe and Seizen |
| What's a visit to Dallas without a visit to my favorite restaurant, Tasty Shanghai, where everybody knows your name, where they're always glad you came. | |
 Joe's favorite restaurant in Dallas |
 Owners of the place ? and Lea |
| Our Date with Beauty and the Beast, July 9th | |
| We went to see Disney's Beauty and the Beast broadway show
at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco. First we had dinner at the Blue Muse. It was just Tina and me... plus 40 other folks from Grace Covenant Church. |
 |
 Joe finally takes Tina out to something other than Barnes & Noble |
 Just to clarify who's Beauty and who's the Beast. |
| Hike up Salsalito's Coastal Trail, July 8th | |
 Tina and Tony, Golden Gate Pillars |
We have so many visitors now that we're in Silicon
Valley. Okay, so we're not the primary reason for the visits.
Regardless, we appreciate seeing old friends like Tony Hsiao. See more pictures of Sasalito Hike |
| July 4th Fireworks at Mountain View | |
Our first CA fireworks ---> |
|
Journey to LA and San Diego, July 1-4 |
|
<--- Tina got a deal on a $18 / day rental car, but Joe, the impulsive buyer, decided to upgrade it to a convertible for something more than $18 (heh heh). Hey, if we're going to drive down CA's coastline, we're going to do it in style. |
|
We first toured around Hollywood Blvd, (which unfortunately looks better on TV than in real life) ---> |
|
Then we met up with some old friends from Dallas now
living in LA. |
|
Universal Studios in LA |
|
|
|
Went on to San Diego to see Matt and Kevin (Tina's friends from college). |
|
Hung out at La Jolla beach. |
|
Kevin showed off his BBQing expertise, and we lounged out at his condo. |
