The Adventures of Lorie and Brian Groth

Got a bit of history today at the Science Museum, specifically at the “Churchill’s Scientists” exhibit. I learned how England created and integrated RADAR into their entire war effort, beyond just detecting incoming planes.

So we stopped in at Borough Market to stock up on our favorite balsamic and Lorie said hi to her favorite pancake people.

This will be our first time flying an Airbus A380, the double-decker plane.

Bridges. You can see the old Bay Bridge being dismantled in the background as we drive on the new one.

Traffic. In the city, traffic laws are more like suggestions, since one double parked cars and other stupid moves seem to be happening on every street at all times.

Ballpark. Even though I’m not a big sports fan, I do like having sports arenas in the city. During a game, it’s always packed with people, exciting to be around and interesting to people watch. Plus, ski shows and car shows often happen at them, which I do enjoy.

Hills. Notice the footing for the honey bucket. Whenever construction is happening on a home in San Francisco, there’s a honey bucket outside of it for the construction crew.

Palm trees. There’s a bunch of them, so apparently they’re not just for tropical weather.

The Bay. It’s always got cargo ships coming and going, boat tours, and even hosted the America’s Cup. It surrounds the city, adds to everyone’s view, helps bring in the fog and forces traffic to bridges, which means they’re always crowded.

Wind. Notice Busby’s ear flapping behind his head because of the wind. And often, it’s a cold wind.
