Here is my home from Age 3 to 10 in San Jose, California.  The bike was my first 5-speed from Sears.  I must have been pretty tall since I was only 8 years old when it was given to me.

The song "Do you know the way to San Jose" is playing as you read.  This was a very popular song when I lived in this house.  The memories are all coming back as  I listen to this old song.

Right now my family and I are preparing for our trip to San Jose to see my family.  We have made repairs and upgrades to the Excursion and Trailer and now the fun part, washing and ironing clothes, packing the trailer and planning the route to this far away place.  Do you know a good Route to San Jose?  I think I will just take interstate 5 north from LA and keep it simple.  We love the scenic route along the coast but it seems to risky with the trailer and all.

We are planning to take a Bay Cruise with the whole Family as we did Ten years ago when my oldest three were very little.  The main point of the visit was to spend some quality time with my niece, Elaine who will be going away to college in a few weeks.  The planning of this trip has been very tough as we have encountered and overcome many obstacles to make it happen.  Thank you Lord.

Northern California, HERE WE COME.
