Mr. Andrew Bradley

It was a quick trip, but totally worth seeing my niece get dedicated at her church, the South Campus of Central Peninsula Church (which meets in a Jewish church), and I got to see my brother and his entire family for the first time since July. After ...

It has been far from a typical week. Starting with handing out candy on Halloween last week to kids was great, however the rain ended the night early, leaving me with candy that had to be eaten before it went bad (it's all been safely eaten now). To ...

There's always something to do at the Bradley Lodge. From raking pine needles to replacing stairs and snow blowing, we stay busy, but also have fun. This trip was no exception. As we were cleaning the Lodge gutters, we noticed a problem, the downspout ...

I go to Napa a lot for work, but this was the first time I got to participate in an entire Culinary Crawl. Culinary Crawls happen every other month and make stops at three restaurants in Downtown Napa. This one started at Andaz Napa, then headed to t...

17 days of vacation is pretty amazing, especially when 12 of them are aboard Royal Caribbean's Serenade of the Seas visiting eight ports along the Mediterranean Sea. This ship itself is due to be revitalized in just a few weeks, but all of the staff...

Pompeii was once buried by a volcanic eruption, but much of it has since been painstakingly uncovered and now sits as a giant classroom for everyone to learn about the city and what life was like nearly 2,000 years ago in Italy. They were pretty sm...

Wow. Ephesus may have had the best ruins, but this was one of the most beautiful ports we visited. With whitewashed buildings, dozens of churches, iconic windmills, narrow streets and more shopping Mykonos had everything, not to mention the color of ...

Athens was interesting in its variety. On the one hand it was a very sad city. We were there the day after a large protest, so the graffiti on some main buildings was still very fresh. Weeds growing up through Olympic venues used just 12 years ago wa...
