Swinging time

Swinging is alot of fun..If you haven't done it lately go to the park or playground and just do it!

National Theater

A popular spot in San Jose is the National Theater. It was closed yesterday because of the holiday. But we had a cute little man who offered to tell us about the history of the theater. He had even lived in Asheville, NC for a little while.

100 year old tree

This is a 100 year old oak tree we saw in the park.

Carol and her "men"

I saw these statues and just wanted my pictures made with them. I thought they were neat.

New Year's Eve meal

What was our big New Year's Eve meal? We went to a 2 story McDonald's which Kim had seen the other day and said that she wanted to eat at before she left. It was fun to sit upstairs and watch the traffic out the big windows. And the burgers and fries were good too.

Fresh squeezed orange juice

Fresh squeezed orange juice...it was good. The
vendor has his shopping cart with the juicer attached.
He cut three oranges in half, put them in the juicer
and then we had our fresh squeezed cup of orange
juice. Very good.

Tico Train

When we were in downtown San Jose exploring, we found a neat tourist train. We paid our money and received a 25 minute tour of the city. It was interesting to hear more information about some of the area that we had seen but didn't know about. We had to laugh because one of the buildings was referred to as the yellow house. I thought that is easy enough.

We liked it so much that today we went downtown and took some friends with us so that they could take the tour as well.
