We had a pretty amazing trip last week. We were lucky to have our good friend Matt drive us to/from San Francisco. We left on Tuesday, December 30th. The drive up was uneventful. We did encounter some gray skies, but nothing that was serious weather wise.

Gray skies over Highway 101, somewhere in California.

This Muni rail sighting was the first obvious sign that we had made it to San Francisco.

This’ll be my last entry of the year. Jen and I will be leaving today for the Bay Area, and we’re not going to be back until Friday, January 2nd. I’m not going to post some cheesey year-end recap. If you want to know what my life’s been like in 2008, check the archives. One last bit of 2008 that I need to cover is Christmas. We went to my sister’s house and had a nice dinner. We also received some really great gifts. A few photos are available here.

Jen and I don’t own laptops/iPhones/Crackberries, so we won’t be doing much Internetting during our trip. I did just set up a Twitpic account, and if I can get it to work, I’ll be sending some pictures from my phone during the trip. Considering that I’ve never managed to get any of these cool web 2.0 mobile services to work with my phone, I doubt it’ll work. Regardless, there’ll be plenty of photos and probably some video when we return.

So, Happy New Year, Internetz. Stay safe and don’t die.

UPDATE: The Twitpic account works! I’ll definitely send some photos during the trip, so stay tuned to Twitpic or my Twitter account to see those photos as they come in.

Last year, we didn’t do much in the way of Christmas decorating. I don’t really remember why. Granted, we don’t exactly “go all out” when it comes to holiday decorating of any kind. But this year we decided to bring the tree and our single tub of Christmas decorations in from the shed, and Christmas things up a bit. Here’s a few pictures:

One of several “Star Trek”-themed ornaments on our tree.

Birds and airplanes are also prevalent themes in our Christmas ornaments.
