JavaOne Conference
In May, 2006,
we traveled to California so that Jerry could attend the Java One
conference. We went out a few days early to
spend time in Tahoe and see the sites
of Napa Valley.
The picture to the right
shows the entrance to the Mosconi Center in San Francisco.
While most of the trip was spent in classes at the conference, who
wants to see pictures of software dorks? That's why we posted
pictures from Tahoe, San Fran, and Napa Valley. |
