Default Made it to California!

So I took the big week-long trip to California. It took 6 days to get here, spent one extra day with my girlfriend, then I dropped her off at the airport. Just completed my first week of internship and everything has been pretty awesome out there!

Trip - NJ -> Cincinnati, OH -> Tulsa, OK -> Albuquerque, NM -> Grand Canyon, AZ -> Santa Clara, CA

I put together a short album with the highlights...

Very cool and welcome to CA! Since you're so close now, are you coming down for the Pontiac Heaven drags this weekend at Barona?

I'm intrigued by the "Song of the Prairie" machine with that disclaimer.

I thought the tram in one of your photos looked familiar.
It is one of several old Melbourne Australia W2 trams exported over to the States for Tourist rides.
When I was a kid these were our public transport.

I grew up in Santa Clara, way before it was Silicon Valley. Where is your internship, Santa Clara University? Kaiser? The new 49er stadium, or are you in the tech field???
