Willow ,'Storyteller'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Toto looks hungry. Starving, even. He told me to tell you.
I bet he did! I had J's little sister take down a box of treats to give him some because the grill was just torturing him. I said, "You can give him five," and she spread those five out the rest of the evening. And she couldn't figure out why he was following her EVERYWHERE. So cute.
Nicole, near Hollister, in Gilroy, are the outlets: [link]
Pinnacles National Monument is also down there: [link]
eta: Henry Coe State Park was also good for hiking: [link]
Thanks, Sparky! I've marked your second post with the shops and the parks.
I'll have to save hang gliding for a time when I'm not still recovery from surgery. I *wish* I could do it because it looks like so much more fun than parachuting. (Not to mention less chance of me landing on my ass and breaking my coccyx.) But... not this time. Pout.
Both those parks can get hot in the summer, so you'd need to carry water.
Unfortunately, Hollister itself isn't exactly a hopping town. Gilroy is bigger, but its claim to fame is the garlic it grows. [link]
It looks like Bonfante Gardens has become Gilroy Gardens Theme Park: [link]
Note the mascot is a head of garlic.

Ha! I kind of love that!
Mmmm, garlic.
So, I have NO dishes to do today! Honestly, that's like the best present ever!
That IS the best present! I wish someone would come do my dishes. And I didn't even have a party. Yeesh.
Gilroy. Isn't that where Spike and Andrew went?
Man, I wish I liked garlic more.
How wonderful, vw. The funny thing is that I *almost* asked if people helped you clean up. Sounds like you hit the jackpot in the area of great friends, though.

That's funny. And, yes, I sure have hit the jockpot of great friends. Not quite sure how that happened, but I sure appreciate it. And, J got me a present for hosting the party at my place, which I just thought was so sweet.
