This time we took a Mission detour to a little Roman-style Italian restaurant called <a href="http://www.locandasf.com">Locanda</a> recommended by some local friends. Pictured is the radiatore with lamb ragu, a fantastically-prepared simple bucatini, lamb carpaccio and a few fried olives thrown in for good measure. If you&#8217;re in the area, this place is amazing and highly recommended.</p> <p class="photo"><img src="https://d3tg4v0f74vukq.cloudfront.net/media/2014/0c58bb9c1efe6131a95d0c5ca364c4f0-DSCF3063-e.jpg" alt="Locanda" /></p> <p class="photo"><img src="https://d3tg4v0f74vukq.cloudfront.net/media/2014/710fc8f082640133a0d167c5fb87e889-DSCF3068-e.jpg" alt="Locanda" /></p> <p class="photo"><img src="https://d3tg4v0f74vukq.cloudfront.net/media/2014/d013c120b671799afb324a1e4efe90b9-DSCF3073-e.jpg" alt="Locanda" /></p> 2014-08-11T14:51:08-05:00 2014-08-11T14:51:08-05:00 http://johntornow.com/photos/2014/08/blue-skies <p class="photo"><img src="https://d3tg4v0f74vukq.cloudfront.net/media/2014/030248049ff1e123976a8c646d9a648f-2014-08-11.jpg" alt="Up in the Air" /></p> <p>Somewhere over New Mexico.

Well, as it turns out, with a sleeping baby in the back seat we decided not to risk disaster and actually stop to get out of the car. So our version of exploring was to drive around the hills and take everything in from within the car. Eventually, we did stop a bit to walk around on the beach area. Here&#8217;s just a few of the scenes along our stop.</p> <p class="photo"><img src="https://d3tg4v0f74vukq.cloudfront.net/media/2014/cf65961f5258d038a7e36b5b4c770118-2014-08-08-2.jpg" alt="Muir Woods Fog" /></p> 2014-06-26T21:01:11-05:00 2014-06-26T21:01:11-05:00 http://johntornow.com/photos/2014/06/dub-dub <p class="photo"><img src="https://d3tg4v0f74vukq.cloudfront.net/media/2014/86ee7ac0068f43cb3ba5315c1efc3aa1d951aff9-main.jpg" alt="Dub Dub" /></p> <p>A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending <a href="http://www.apple.com/apple-events/june-2014/">Apple&#8217;s 2014 World Wide Developers Conference</a>, aka WWDC. (Although for everyone there, it is really aka &#8220;dub dub&#8221;.) It was an incredible experience. It was a whirlwind 5-day-long nerd sensory overload that left me energized, humbled and ready for a fantastic year. Here&#8217;s just a few photos snapped along the way.</p> <p class="photo"><img src="https://d3tg4v0f74vukq.cloudfront.net/media/2014/2f08279d96ca9f4769730cfc91e9e67690137980-main.jpg" alt="Dub Dub" /></p> <p class="photo"><img src="https://d3tg4v0f74vukq.cloudfront.net/media/2014/3d64135383072dc99895302bea095dfb5b53c721-main.jpg" alt="Dub Dub" /></p> <p class="photo"><img src="https://d3tg4v0f74vukq.cloudfront.net/media/2014/95b23382aba79c1496e08e85721fe6736a3a6ede-main.jpg" alt="Dub Dub" /></p> <p class="photo"><img src="https://d3tg4v0f74vukq.cloudfront.net/media/2014/0fa5313b5a4c6c0305b5e66ef3a6d405600285d3-main.jpg" alt="Dub Dub" /></p> <p class="photo"><img src="https://d3tg4v0f74vukq.cloudfront.net/media/2014/66c95b16199cb36960e3cf05b9053c9d858f99ba-main.jpg" alt="Dub Dub" /></p> <p class="photo"><img src="https://d3tg4v0f74vukq.cloudfront.net/media/2014/b55ce0e071000dcbcdb7ba9abd5af994340ed6cc-main.jpg" alt="Dub Dub" /></p> 2014-03-09T15:51:18-05:00 2014-03-09T15:51:18-05:00 http://johntornow.com/photos/2014/03/shuffle <p class="photo"><img src="https://d3tg4v0f74vukq.cloudfront.net/media/2014/4a8bf8b498e2c6409f608ba754dc526f84419674-main.jpg" alt="Shuffle" /></p> <p>A recent episode of shuffleboard.

Well, long for us. Typically we&#8217;ll get a few weeks of cold but it seems this year like we&#8217;ve been bundling up for months. To make it more fun, we&#8217;ve had sick kids for weeks now and are finally looking to be coming out of the fog. The weather is warming, and we&#8217;re welcoming it with open arms.</p> <p>This photo was taken as part of my daily walk with our almost-two-year-old. We walk past these sad little cacti struggling to hold on everyday; just waiting for spring to get here as much as we are.</p>
