A huge THANKS to the NorCal Crew for being such awesome hosts and hostess cupcakes during our visit!! We were given some great off the beaten path sites to see, places to eat and spot on directions.

One of the high-lites of our trip was our first visit to FI. As many people know, the Not Homes will be late for their own funerals; we intended on being there Wed night at 8:30PM but our wheels didn't screech into the parking lot until 9:40'ish. With it being a school night, we thought for sure we'd miss everyone. But to our delight we were greeted with warm smiles and cold rummy drinks. Not to mention some not to shabby nibbles. There's plenty of "reviews" about the bar so we won't share some long winded thoughts but we will say "that place rules!"

Another high-lite was seeing the Birth of the Cool exhibit. It wasn't as large as we expected but it was cool none the less. If you get a chance to check it out, we highly recommend seeing it. And if you have friends that just "don't get" mid-century, take them along. We're sure it'll be an eye-opener for them.

Thanks to all again and see you in a few weeks at Oasis!!
