Joy and I sat on the beach for a while, watching some local dogs frolic in the waves.

In front of Ghirardelli Square. They have chocolate there, you know.

24th St and Mission BART station.

At the Jelly Belly factory.

Joy wearing her hard-hat, before we went a-adventuring on the Winchester Mystery House behind-the-scenes tour.

Looking through the list of "Things To Do In San Jose" that was in our hotel, Joy immediately went "Oooh!" when she saw a mini-golf course.

I jest, of course.
