Last week, Hilton treated Mrs. Jeffsetter and me to a concert experience in San Jose. They offered tickets to see Maroon 5 at the SAP Center and a car service to get us there from San Francisco. We accepted. While Maroon 5 is not a band I would pay to see on my own, I knew a few songs and figured the concert would be fun. Our tickets were pretty close to the … [Read more...] about My Hilton and Live Nation Concert Experience

Wildflowers in Point Reyes National Seashore
It's my first spring in California and it feels... about the same as the rest of the year. Of course, there are some changes in the air. The winter rains brought green to the area.

My Favorite Photo of the Golden Gate Bridge
Last week I went on a photo safari to capture the Golden Gate Bridge at Sunset. The day was clear, so I figured there would be no fog getting in the way of the perfect shot. There were no clouds in the sky - just clear views of the Golden Gate and the Marin Headlands in the background. I took many photos and enjoyed them all.
