February in Santa Cruz

Last month was the annual clam chowder cook off in Santa Cruz and I booked a hotel for the weekend (a few months ago actually!)
This year Samar came with - as usual - and Adam joined us after recently moving to the bay area.

The weather was great and we couldn't have asked for better - actually i would've preferred hotter.
Anyway, the clam chowda was yummy and it was a full on weekend of all sorts of eating.
And of course, I got to stop by the Pono Grill on Friday night too

March: Michio!

Went to go see Michio Kaku again this year!
Had to cuz he's got a new book out.
I got the hardback signed for my dad.
Oh and hurray for sitting way up front!

March in San Jose

I finally got around to seeing the Star Wars exhibit at the Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose.
Riki was in from London and Robert wanted to check it out again so we all went just in time as it closes in a week or so.

There was a lot of stuff to see however i wished there was more. Over all, was worth the visit though!
Tons of photos at my moblog
