Weekend Get-Away

11-10-09 SHORT HILLS: We got back from San José Monday morning on the red-eye after a weekend visit to the west-coasters. Saturday was all soccer, all day. Sunday we hiked in Rancho San Antonio County Park and Open Space Preserve, part of the Santa Clara County Park system. It’s a 4000 acre nature preserve with hiking, biking and horse trails. We did a medium sized hike up a canyon and across a ridge with great views of the Bay area. The weather there was the usual sunny warm days and cooler evenings.

Here in NJ it’s been warm and dry, and the leaves continue to tumble.

New blooms: the newly planted roses are still in business.


Soccer in the morning.

Soccer in the afternoon.

Fans were lined up for the soccer games.

The tower in the mid-ground is at Stanford U. The City by the Bay is in the distance.
