John Muir National Historic Site - Martinez, CA

With the help of Auntie Theresa, we dragged Grandpa Howard to John Muir National Historic Site to celebrate Fathers' Day.

The mansion was home to John Muir, a Scottish born naturalist, author, environmental philosopher and early advocate of preservation of wilderness in the United States. His letters, essays, and books tell of his adventures in nature. It was built in 1883 by Dr. John Strentzel, Muir's father-in-law, with whom Muir went into partnership, managing his 2,600-acre fruit ranch. Muir and his wife, Louisa, moved into the house in 1890, and he lived there until his death in 1914.

Posy Parade - San Bruno, CA

Katherine was in the Posy Parade with her school, El Crystal Elementary, in San Bruno. We watched from the sidelines so we could enjoy the whole parade.










Here's a newspaper article from the event, which included a classic car show:
