Dinner at Espetus Churrascaria, San Francisco
(Unlimited) "meat cooked on skewers over an open fire, and brought straight to the table where it is carved directly onto your plate." Oh, and there's also a salad bar. Brilliant!

Monterey Bay Aquarium, California
While I'm not exactly a marine biology aficionado, I must say that the Monterey Bay Aquarium is by far the best aquarium that I've ever been to. Sea otters, seahorses, jelly fish, and some brilliant rocky shore and kelp forest exhibits.

Driving Big Sur
The drive along Big Sur from San Simeon to Monterey is absolutely fantastic. Absolutely incredible coastline. Very little development. And a thoroughly enjoyable winding road to drive along.
Hearst Castle, San Simeon, California
Of course, a road trip up the California Central Coast is not complete without a visit to Hearst Castle.

Yosemite National Park, California
Three days in Yosemite National Park. Awesome.

Bodie State Historic Park, California
On the drive from Lake Tahoe to Yosemite National Park, I took a side trip to Bodie State Historic Park. Bodie is "a genuine California gold mining ghost town" that thrived in the late 1800s, declined in the early 1900s, was eventually abandoned, and was designated a state historic park in 1962.

Hiking to Eagle Lake and beyond
This morning I went hiking to the fantastic Eagle Lake (seen here) just off Lake Tahoe in California, and then attempted to get up to Velma Lake and Dicks Lake, but was beaten by nature as the trail was covered in snow beyond 7600 feet.
