California Blog #02: San Francisco

California diary #02

While I was on vacation in California, my dad and I along with Aunt Leta went to San Francisco to visit Shanann, Miles, and baby Kieran. We had a great time hanging out at San Fran last year. We got to have barbeque for lunch, went window shopping, got ourselves some ice cream, hang out at the park, and even got to look at the houses seen on 'Full House'. I also got to check out murals and other art including the Mondrian window. During my future in California, I have a couple of plans on visiting San Francisco, hang out there, and maybe check out some museums for the time being. San Francisco is the home of the Golden Gate Bridge where the sightseeing is anything.





I'll never forget the year Shanann and Miles finally got married. It was a really great day for the Klavers and everybody to check out. The best part of of that special day is that I got to see Aunt Tammy along with Sequoia and Aurora, Ryan, Brendan, all of their friends and family, and of course Ollie. Before we got to the wedding, I got to go to the Walt Disney museum where I got to see the exhibition of Disney's work where it all started with a mouse. At the museum, I even got to try Bendaberg root beer during lunchtime. It was brewed better with perfection. On our way to the Golden Gate Bridge, I saw a San Francisco Love Tours bus outside. The artwork on the van was groovy and with all the tie dye and psychedelic detail similar to Peter Max's art which is inspired just like the 60s.




















We had a great time here, we were dancing, we enjoyed dinner, and we even got together. We had such a good time there and it was so much fun. I really enjoyed the food and soda there. It was awesome.

Now last year in San Fran, we walked around the city and looked at the art outside. The murals and the artwork outside were like the greatest hits of peace, love, and happiness.



























The way I see San Francisco reminds me of the good old days. The view is wonderful, the places are just terrific. The city is just beautiful. And you would never find anywhere in the world with the Summer of Love like this. It's incredible.


























































See what I mean?


I also remember that time my dad and I went to Lands End Lookout to see the ocean. That's breakfast at Mel's Diner, Lunch at Tommy's Joynt, and a special dinner at Shanann & Miles's wedding.



















You know what else, I really enjoy visiting San Francisco, and I also would love go back there again. And someday, I might get my friends to join me on that too. I also though about maybe going to Tommy's Joynt again for maybe lunch or dinner though. I really love that place. And one other thing. If you're planning on visiting San Francisco, you gotta experience the Summer of Love. Perhaps, wear some flowers in your hair.

California Blog #22: Welcome to Lake Tahoe

Image
 Living in Northern California in the future can be a bit of a challenge. But when I think of living here once again, I've thought about one thing that my aunt Leta suggested. She and uncle Mark suggested visiting Lake Tahoe for the very first time. If you can look closely, you can see the beautiful lakeside. That's the south shore seen on the west. At Lake Tahoe, you can also see the view of the shore from California from here. If you liked my blog about camping in California, then get this. There's also hiking here in Lake Tahoe! And that part of Lake Tahoe is Fallen Leaf Lake. How's that for another scenery. Now if you look closely at this map, Lake Tahoe is located in both California and Nevada. As you look closely at these pictures taken from space, you can see the clear blue water in this lake. According to Wikipedia,  Lake Tahoe has a dry-summer continental climate, including  warm, dry summers and chilly winters with regular snowfall. It's the  youngest of s...

California Blog #08: A Visit to Axtell Expressions

Image
  Ever since the day I got my first Axtell puppet in Lawrence KS, it has always been my dream to entertain children, and start my puppet's own show on YouTube. So I would like to take my time to talk about Axtell Expressions. It all started in the month of February 2013 when I got my bee puppet delivered to my door. It was a best day of my life. Since I named him Buzzy, I got the chance to show my puppet to everyone in Lawrence. The school that I went to [Free State High School], Cordley Elementary [including Lois Orth-Lopes], and of course all of my friends in this town I lived in. They are so thrilled that they saw it. He was friendly, kind, and more expressive to people. And for example, this is what my puppet and I look like in that picture. Now in the future when I come back to live in California again, I wanna plan a visit to Axtell Expressions in Ventura where it's between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. I wanna get the chance to meet Steve Axtell and shake hands with him...

California Blog #11: 7-Eleven

Image
  As I'm still working on my next future life in northern California, I'd like to take my time to talk to you about my daily trips to 7-Eleven in my spare free time. Whenever I come in to a 7-Eleven, I get myself a Slurpee of any kind that I like. Whether it's wild cherry, blue raspberry, pina colada, or Coca-Cola flavored, I'm always down with that. One time, my family and I were visiting 7-Eleven to get myself a Slurpee during vacation in California, and I tried a wild cherry Slurpee. And I gotta tell you, I almost got myself a brain freeze when I sipped too fast. We were in the car on the way. Visiting 7-Eleven reminds of the time I was in Kansas City with my dad while we were moving, and it was great. I wanted to pick out something besides a Slurpee, but it was all I can get here for now. I wonder if I could go there more often. It was also that other time I went there with Aunt Leta and Uncle Mark along with my dad, and my cousins Ryan and Shanann. For me, I got my...
