I've been living in Hayward long enough to be impressed with restored vehicles, but the Harry and David's store in Medford is pretty good too.

Home again: 2,122 miles round trip

Hayward --> Clackamas --> Bellingham --> Anacortes (I took the ferry from there) --> Bellingham --> Tacoma --> Portland --> Redding --> Hayward

There should be a picture of Miss Cuteness and the Fireball, but they were having such a frenzy when we saw them that it wasn't possible to capture it. There are no pictures from the ferry ride because it was so beautiful and grey-green that they wouldn't have translated to film (or should I say "film" since it's all just electrons anyway?).
