Day #1: 3/8/15 - First day in California!

We’re all exhausted, but we finally made it to California! Obviously the first thing we noticed was the weather. We’re out of the snow! So excited! It’s still kind of hard to believe that we’re actually in California. This morning I was wearing my heavy winter coat in 20 something degree weather. And this afternoon I was sitting in the sun in shorts and a T-shirt, drinking a margarita by the poolside.

Between daylight savings and losing an hour of sleep, and losing three hours from flying (back in time) to Cali, I think I can speak for the group when I say that we ere a bit tired today. The plane ride wasn’t too bad. The group slept on the plane.

Some of the group members took shuttle to the hotel, and other went with Gordon and Gibbs. The ride to the hotel was fun. The driver was funny, and taking in new sights and trees and people and architecture of California was interesting.

The hotel is really, really nice. Rooms are spacious, facilities are clean and pretty. After unpacking our bags we hung out by the poolside and ate lunch. It was nice to order drinks and chill with our peers in a laid back, unrestrictive environment. The entire group eventually got together, and we took a trip to see the garage where HP was born (or something). We also stopped by the Jobs’ house and went grocery shopping at Fairway.
