Last San Jose Pictures, In And Out Burger and back home in PA

So While in San Jose The Totah's Insisted we Visit "In and Out Burger". It sounded vaguely naughty so of course we went. As you can see above the Menu is very limited unless you know the "Secret Menu" Which has like 10 more items. I went with just a Cheeseburger and fries.
Facial shot of Joann's Chin and our very friendly guy at the Pick up window. (He gave use secret sauce for the fries!)

I did get one thing off the "Secret Menu" which was a lemon Up, Half 7up and Half pink Lemonade.
It was an Awesome Burger, and I think I like the fries, have to have them warmer though.
The Next Day Joann took us over the mountain to Santa Clara where she went to school for a few years.

Lots of Hippies, Lots of pot smoking in the street and lots of that whole culture. (I actually had to call one of my Republican BFF's for strength!)
Still it was beautiful and we got some shopping in, Joann here with new sandals and me with a few things at the Borders which was having a going out of business sale.
After a few rainy days it was wonderful to take a drive along the coast and enjoy the sun.

And of course wonderful times with the Totah's!!! Miss you guys!!
Then the next day it was back on a plane to PA. From San Francisco to Houston (where it was like 80 degrees) then a nasty flight to Cleveland (we spent the last hour of our two hour flight strapped in our seats on a crowded plane shaking from turbulence...NOT FUN!). Then Once we landed all flights were canceled in Cleveland for that night so no short hop to PA. Thank God I am used to this from living in Alaska, so while everyone was standing in an hour long line to get tickets changed at the counter and freaking out I went on Priceline on my phone and secured a Hotel room at the Sheridan at the Airport before they were all sold out! I was set by the time I got the counter and was so nice and calm and decent to the Continental Reps there that they got me a set on the first flight next morning and arrived in PA about 10:45 in the morning.
They had just had a couple of inches of snow at the Farm so it is really beautiful right now.

Mostly just hanging out with the Family and going out to eat.
We got stuffed at Luigi's in DuBois last night, they have the best Tomato Sauce in the World besides my mother's. On the Way home we were listening to the weather forecast and they were calling for a mix of snow and rain. I just had a feeling and predicted that I would see my nephew early the next morning when they cancelled school. Everyone laughed and did not believe me.
Turns out I was right!!! Lots of really wet icy snow that loaded down the Hemlock trees in our backyard.

So it's a snow day, which is really nice to spend some time with the family.
Hope you all are warm and dry and safe out there!
Have a great Day
CB

I love the burgers at In'N'Out but I can't stand the fries. They never seem hot enough for me even right out of the grease. I do love their secret sauce and grilled onions though.

Enjoy your vacation!

CB, you were pretty much in my backyard! San Jose is a very challenging place for a conservative/libertarian to deal with! The city of San Jose is pretty much broke but its elected officials are still looking to spend money as if they print it themselves (or they wait for Obama to do it and send it to them lol).

There are a few pockets of reasonableness in the area—the city of Saratoga is pretty much conservative... that's about it!

Glad you had a good time and got out of here with your sanity!
