In the Air: The Return Home

With the conference in San Francisco having drawn to a close, it was time to head back home to Missouri. Here are some snaps from the flights back to Columbia, starting at SFO.

Around San Francisco - Part III

Between and after conference sessions on Wednesday, I explored San Francisco a little more. In the morning, I walked around the Moscone Center, and then wandered to Chinatown in the evening. I didn't have enough time to explore thoroughly, but it was still a nice day in the city.

Around San Francisco - Part II

After conferencing all day on Tuesday, I walked around downtown a bit in the early evening. Here are a few snaps.

Around San Francisco - Part I

After walking the Golden Gate Bridge, I explored a little bit around Fishermans Wharf and the Ghirardelli factory. Again, fog and overcast skies dominated the scene.

Foggy and Freezing Walk Across the Golden Gate Bridge

I didn't realize you could freeze your YKW off in August, but it turns out you can if you walk across the Golden Gate Bridge in the fog. Another bucket list item checked off!

In the Air: Destination San Francisco

Here are a few snaps taken from our Airbus 321 Neo on the flight from Dallas to San Francisco. We flew over Canyon Country on the way, as well as some mountains in California. Great flight!

Back on the ground at SFO... and seeing the intrepid 757

San Francisco Trip 2019

I attended a conference in San Francisco in August, 2019. It was the coldest August think I've ever spent in my life, but it was a wonderful trip anyway. To follow are what were the highlights for me during the few days I was there.

Mammatus Clouds on the Morning Walk

This morning the sky was completely filled with mammatus clouds, but fortunately, there was no severe weather nearby.
