Well, we pretty much haven’t blogged at all since we started this thing, although nothing extremely exciting has been going on since we last updated. Kevin came to California last weekend for a long-ish trip (four days!), and we pretty much just hung around San Jose. We tried to get up to the new Cal Academy of Sciences, but arrived just before closing time.
Instead, we took a trip up over the Golden Gate to the Marin Headlands right around sunset. Neither of us have ever been, and it’s absolutely stunning. A bit scary if you’re afraid of heights, and if your girlfriend is more focused on the view than the windy one-way road.
Later that night, we had dinner with the lovely Allie and Eston at Mangarosa, a delicious little Brazilian-fusion eatery in North Beach.
Highlight of his visit, though? Pumpkin carving! We ventured to Half Moon Bay (pre-Pumpkin Festival), and Kevin kindly humored me while I fed some goats at the patch. Here are the masterpieces:
Many Sharks fans enjoyed watching us stage this classy photo as they walked to the Tank. Watch for that Mercury News “M” pumpkin in your Halloween newspaper!
