One A Day - Catching up....

So I had pictures all picked out but failed to post them. It's due to being pretty busy, being a bit lazy and the new World of Warcraft Expansion so here is what I missed posting so far this month.

Donna and I at the Disney Holiday Christmas Party in 2005

One A Day - On This Day in 2002

Orange CA Our House

On this day in 2002 I took a photo of the place the magic happens. This is our BBQ area. This was taken before we got our fancy cast iron BBQ but Webbers work well too. I think I took the photo because I had just put up the Christmas Lights.

The Holidays are here...

San Francisco CA The Holidays

Happy Holidays everyone. Festivity is in full swing here in San Francisco. Thanksgiving is is in our rear view mirror for 2010. I hope everyone had a good day. We did. We roasted duck this year. It was very good but a lot of work and didn't yield as much meat as a turkey. I think we will go back to turkey next year.

We are all decorated for Christmas and enjoying all of the decorations throughout The City. We plan on going to as many fancy hotels to enjoy the decorations, holiday cheer and to take photos. Be on the look out for those in the near future.

Our Duck


Jean Luc makes another appearance this year. This was a decoration we made very early on in our marriage and he is still with us.


The Tiki Mug with tinsel and a snowman top is new this year.


These are actually Asian Tour Pins from our Disney Days. These Christmas Tree "Decorations" have been with us since the beginning too. We have many more than just these but we didn't pull them all out this year.


This year the Santa Pub Crawl happened again. Giant groups of Santas and Mrs. Santas hop from bar to bar in The City. It's pretty fun to watch and we got a few shots. This group of Santas wouldn't let people pass by without a hug and a Merry Christmas. There was a lot of holiday cheer going on with this group in more than one way.


Fisherman's Wharf is all decked out with Holiday Cheer.


The Santas and Ms. Santas stopped by Hooter's for some brew and wings.


Donna and I had a goal to ride each of the cable car lines from start to end and we finished up that goal tonight while taking pictures of the Pub Crawl and Holiday goings ons.


Macy's has their decorations up in Union Square and it is quite a site.


Happy Holidays from Jon and Donna!

One A Day - On This Day in 2004

Irvine CA Toys R Us

On this day in 2004 I waited in line to buy a Nintendo DS. It was launch day so there was a lot of action at our local Toys R Us. It's a great system and still going strong. It will soon be replaced by a really cool 3-D version (not like the crappy Virtual Boy).

One A Day - On This Day in 2007

San Francisco CA Chrissy Field

On this day in 2007 I was on my lunch and I saw this bird taking a bath in a mud puddle in Chrissy Field. I took 4 or 5 shots and this is the best one.

Also things are a bit busy and I didn't have time to queue up November so the One A Days won't be Once a Day for a bit. I am going to take a little break and come back with more photos here and there. Keep checking back, I'm not going away, just taking a break.

One A Day - On This Day in 2009

San Jose CA HP Pavilion

On this day in 2009 I went to the Kings Sharks game in San Jose with a friend. It was a good game and I had a great time. I think the Kings lost but that's okay because I am used to it.
