My Favorite Photo of Me

Wow how do I choose just one favorite photo of myself. I have many that I love and reflect different periods of my life.



The one above was taken July 2006 when my daughter Melissa and I took a vacation together to San Francisco. In early spring that year we talked about taking a trip together and she said she always wanted to go to San Francisco so I did a map search and it was about an 8 hour drive from Phoenix. With both of us driving we could do it so we decided that was our destination choice.



This was taken at Muir Woods which was part of a wine tour we took while there. We had so much fun with every aspect of our vacay. We explored San Francisco for three days on foot, stopping to eat one day in Little Italy and another in Chinatown. We did the wine tour in a van with about 6 other people and a driver that was fantastic. We stayed in a hotel on Fisherman's Wharf and hung out in the evenings at a place called Wipe Out Bar & Grill. We flirted with the bartender and the manager, who were quite cute and they flirted back.



A funny story about this place is as we walking towards it the first night we discovered it there was a kid running ahead of his parents and he tripped and wiped out on the mat in front of the doorway to this place.



When we left we spent a couple of days driving down Highway 101 and visited Hearst Castle. We ended our trip at Huntington Beach, relaxed on the beach for a few hours and then eating at Ruby's Diner at the end of the pier before heading back to Phoenix. It was one of my all time favorite trips and we talk about going back and hopefully someday we will.
