We left the wine country of Napa Valley mid-day and headed to the pleasant town of Pleasanton. There I visited the Zeltiq corporate headquarters. My gracious guide was Dana Martinez and I had a jovial meeting with Keith Sullivan, Senior VP of Worldwide Sales. It was a pleasure to meet such nice people in this “cool” company inspired by popsicles & ice melting. They market Coolsculpting, the one & only procedure I still perform in retirement up at Westglow Resort & Spa in Blowing Rock, “where cool people come to chill.”

We then traveled onto the San Francisco Bay area checking in at the San Francisco RV Park in Pacifica literally overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The last picture was taken from our campground! m, b & t
