Movie of the day: Just Go With It

Gotta admit I'm biased because it's starring my favourite Jennifer Anniston but I think it deserves higher grade than those B-/C+ given out by critics. The storyline was predictable but the movie was funny and often heart-warming, i.e., your typical Adam Sandler comedy. That was nothing not to like for me. Swimsuit model/actress Brooklyn Decker was hot. Jennifer was still hot. Nicole Kidman was pretty as usual (and funny too!)

Los Gatos Creek Trail

I seldom cycle on bike trails these days but I did two days in a row! It's a huge coincidence. I had 2 hours to kill near San Jose City College but I wasn't able to find any recommended bike routes nearby on the web in a rush and ended up just biking around aimlessly. I biked along S. Bascom Ave and biked across the Hwy 17 overpass (it has an funny spiral ascent and descent) to Campbell and saw the "historical" Campbell downtown (the farmer's market was closing and I missed the music performance :( ) When I came back I still have more time to kill so I went further south along Bascom and discovered the entrance to Los Gatos Creek trail! The trail was a bit more crowded and narrower than the Alameda Creek Trail I biked with my buddy the day before but it was still nice.

How to spend 3 days in SF: Day 3

On day 3 we're back to SF. I met my friends at the Ferry Building. We're supposed to have an early lunch at 11:30 at Hog Island (known for its oysters) but it opened late that day (the day after superbowl! Someone partied too much I guess) so we ended up having a not-so-early lunch but it was still tasty as expected. Next, we drove to the Pacific Ocean. They missed seeing the ocean very much because there's none where they live. Then we headed to the beautiful Golden Gate Park. The tulips under the windmill and the Conservatory of flowers were all worthy of taking a few pictures. From there we drove across the Golden Gate Bridge (the drive was surprisingly quick. It's really a short distance and there wasn't much traffic on a Monday early afternoon) and I drop them off at Sausalito. They took the ferry back to the Ferry Building and walked to Japan town for ramen for dinner (Man, they could really walk a lot :D) That's how 3 fun-filled days were spent!
