While the drive there was easy and lovely, driving through San Jose was a bit of challenge. We found out very quickly there were absolutely no street signs anywhere. The only way we figured out where we were was based on a random marking on a store front. Luckily I had a good map and was able to figure out how to get to our hotel based on our limited knowledge, but if you are a person who is geographically challenged--this city is probably your worst nightmare.
It was Sunday, so we decided to walk down the main strip which seemed to be what everyone else was doing. There were some stores and fast food places, but everyone was right. There was nothing pretty or worthwhile or interesting about it. We couldn't even find a decent place to eat so we settled on McDonald's and ice cream. We turned in early and spent the evening looking at our wedding pictures and videos. Having spent most of the vacation away from email and the internet, it was a real treat and made the fact that our honeymoon was over a little bit easier to deal with.

We stopped at this colorful soda for lunch.
And of course we nabbed some local candy...lots of caramel-sort of goodies.
The plane ride home.
It was so much fun. Can we do it all over again?

yes San Jose is yucky. But I'm glad you had a great time. Your pictures are amazing. Glad you are home safe and sound.
You made the right move, from years of traveling, my family has learned to just go to McDonald's and you know what you're going to get. If there is no other option of course.
Love all the pics, glad you had a good time.
