  • Mandy and Lawrence’s Wedding

    Mandy and Lawrence’s Wedding

    For Mandy and Lawrence’s wedding, I traveled to Oakland International Airport, rented a car, and drove north. On the way, I had a chance to take night shots of the Golden Gate Bridge. The next day, I visited Muir Woods and had other excursions along various points on the coast. The afternoon wedding was absolutely beautiful. Mandy and Lawrence got married at Lancaster Vineyards, and the elegant reception took place in the wine cave. That was very special. I drove through San Francisco on the way back and made stops along the coast as well.

  • San Francisco for the AAOS

    San Francisco for the AAOS

    Last week, I drove up to San Francisco to drop off the Living Orthopaedic Tree at the Moscone West Convention Center. I spent the rest of Monday visiting Golden Gate Park and some of the surrounding neighborhoods.

    The AAOS was a busy place. Tuesday was spent in the Practice Management Course, while the rest of the week was filled with meetings, lectures, and exhibition activities. I was surprised to get the recognition for the bonsai, and I called Joe Bowen (PGY-4 resident) to tell him that it was because he was the one who urged me to submit the piece in the first place. Also, I got to meet some amazing artists at the show.

    I was able to fit in some outdoor activities. On Friday morning, I visited Muir Woods. Then on Saturday, I drove up to Point Reyes National Seashore. I hiked Tomales Point trail and saw some Tule Elk. I also visited several remote beaches, the lighthouse, and hiked the Chimney Rock Trail, which wound its way at cliff’s edge. The view was spectacular. On Sunday, I took the scenic route back to San Francisco with a detour to the Marin Headlands.
