\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>We took a break from our usual action-adventures this month and kicked back with a more laid-back game called Stray<\/a>. Set in a neon-lit, post-apocalyptic cybercity, we play a stray cat evading zorgs and sentrybots as we uncovered the mystery of this robot-inhabited world. We finished the game over a few short sittings with our 1-month PS Plus Extra<\/a> subscription, which gave us time to try out other titles like Crash Bandicoot 4<\/a> and The Crew 2<\/a>, where we raced cars, trucks, and boats across the continent. I also expanded my VR gaming repertoire by completing the Vader Immortal<\/a> trilogy and Pistol Whip<\/a> campaigns. Westley and Melody picked up a less violent pastime with geocaching<\/a>, which had us searching under street signs and lamp post covers with his friend Liam for a chance to sign logbooks and uncover trinkets at the Yolo Bypass<\/a>. We continued the digital-age treasure hunt as we explored new dining options this month including Korean soups at Jeon Ju Gom Tang & BBQ<\/a>, nem cuon and banh xeo at Quan Nem Ninh Hoa<\/a>, lamb shanks and lentil stew at Maydoon<\/a>, loco moco and malasadas at Kau Kau<\/a>, and sushirrito, sammich, and melty mac at Local Kitchens<\/a>. We missed the soft opening of Mochinut<\/a> in Davis, but were underwhelmed when we finally got a taste. Otherwise, we battled the heat wave with Sunday visits to the public pool, where Westley took his first leap from a diving board, and shaved ice which was much tastier from a store<\/a> than a truck<\/a>. I also took my parents to SF for a dining splurge at Benu<\/a> to celebrate my mom’s birthday and recovery from surgery. At home, we got new plants, a new fire pit<\/a>, and a new crew<\/a> for yard care. Hopefully all three will actually last!<\/p>\n\n\n
