2011 Giants Fan Fest

Saturday we went down to SF for Fan Fest. When we got there they were no longer letting people into the stadium it was so full. We stopped for lunch and then after giving up trying to get into the main gate happened upon an open door where no one was waiting and they let us onto the field. The weather was beautiful!


Here we are outside the main gate before getting in.

B - really excited about getting Will Clark's signature on his baseball.

In the press box.

Visiting with law enforcement.

Ice Skating

They open up an ice rink downtown in the winter, we went MLK weekend only a couple days before it closed. The ice was pretty bad - but still a good time.



MLK Weekend

For our MLK service we spent a few hours Saturday morning weeding at a Sacramento park. It was freezing cold by the time we left, but we had a great time.



Monday we took the long awaited trip out to Winters. Including a walk down to Cody's for lunch, a visit to the old railroad bridge I've been telling A about and finally a drive and hike out to Lake Berryessa for some driving range practice.

N, Me, C, C & B

We hiked down to one of the old High School haunts at the lake, in a small cove near the dam. The weather was fantastic, but there was a lot of mud, a few casualties occurred on the hike down and back. Pretty sure my shoes almost slipped me right off the hillside.

We brought a ton of golf balls, and the echo made it sound like we were shooting guns. Which is probably what brought the Sheriff boat as close as he could get to us. Luckily the water was too shallow for him to get close enough to talk to us.


Dropping our clubs and trying to look innocent.

Luckily it was pretty much time to leave by that point - so no tickets were issued.

Adventures with A

My friend A is a fantastic one for coming up with random, but thrilling activities. Way back in November we went on an early morning hike/walk up over the American River just below Folsom Dam.
