We couldn&#8217;t even figure out where we were for a while it has changed so much and is so crowded. We saw where the new Apple headquarters building is going up &#8211; walking distance to our old home &#8211; and could hardly wait to get out of there and back to the suburbs where Brian and Chris live.<\/p>\n<p>As usual we managed to time our visit so that we were here during the work week and Brian has to work. Fortunately, we made it early enough on Fathers&#8217; Day that we could visit and eat together &#8211; Brian is a great cook (takes after me I guess ;-).\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSC015601.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-3006 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSC015601-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"DSC01560\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSC015601-214x300.jpg 214w, http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSC015601-107x150.jpg 107w, http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSC015601.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><\/a> Daughter-in-law Chris takes over entertaining us when Brian is at work and it is always a fun visit. Chris watches her nieces a few day per week and our grandsons are home too so there is lots of fun visiting with the kids too.<\/p>\n<p>Monday we shopped a little and ran some errands but mostly visited. Today, Tuesday, I started out the day replacing the exhaust manifold gasket that has been getting worse and worse each day. Back to quiet now and it only took about an hour or so. Tonight we plan to go out to a restaurant to celebrate Brian&#8217;s recent new job and promotion. Tomorrow we are heading South to King City via Salinas. We like the King City park and there is a really good donut shop right down the street in the morning. Salinas is where our former business is so we like to visit and see how they are doing.<a href=\"http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSC015611.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3007\" src=\"http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSC015611-300x215.jpg\" alt=\"DSC01561\" width=\"300\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSC015611-300x215.jpg 300w, http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSC015611-150x107.jpg 150w, http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSC015611-1024x732.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_20150623_0915133081.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-3008 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_20150623_0915133081-169x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_20150623_091513308\" width=\"169\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_20150623_0915133081-169x300.jpg 169w, http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_20150623_0915133081-84x150.jpg 84w, http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_20150623_0915133081.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"facebook\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/2015\/06\/23\/back-down-the-mountains-to-silicon-valley-omg\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-facebook-plugin\/facebook_share_icon.gif\" alt=\"Share on Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share.php?u=http:\/\/minniebiz.com\/gmcmotorhome\/2015\/06\/23\/back-down-the-mountains-to-silicon-valley-omg\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Facebook\">Share on Facebook<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The OMG is because we went to our old home to see how the neighborhood has changed since we left in 1992.
