A Week in Bucolic Walnut Creek






Jack and Debbie invited us into their really lovely and comfortable home in Walnut Creek. We got to see grandson Aiden before they all took off to join daughter Emily and her husband for a week on the outer islands of North Carolina. We spent the next three days hanging around Walnut Creek, the first day swimming in the complex's pool, the next day going to the great farmer's market to purchase tamales to take home (the best tamales anywhere) and buy some Bolani and toppings, then headed up to Mount Diablo to view the area from the top and hike around its trails. The day was relatively warm but not hot and the views were spectacular. The final day we headed to Livermore to taste wine and then ate dinner in Walnut Creek at a great little Italian restaurant.

THANK YOU JACK AND DEBBIE for your hospitality and generosity. We had a wonderful time.
