51

Preston and I were invited to go to a 51s game with some of his co-workers. I'd never been to a game, sad to say. It was loads of fun. Because the 51s scored over 10 runs in the game, everyone in the stadium got a coupon for a free shrimp cocktail at the Golden Gate in the Fremont Street Experience. We all made sure we got our shrimp after the game. Good times!

More Lazy

Oh, I almost forgot this picture. We're in the lazy river here, as you can see.

San Francisco Treat

Preston and I added a little two day trip to San Francisco on top of our already weeklong vacation. While we were there, we walked along Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39, visited the aquarium, saw some sea lions, ate tasty seafood dishes, visited the sourdough bread factory, drove down Lombard St, rode "The Duck", visited the Golden Gate Bridge, went for a little hike, and went to Alcatraz.

That's Alcatraz behind me. Our trip to "The Rock" was the highlight of our day. It's funny; people used to steal money to come here, and now people pay money to come.

What ever happened to predictibility? The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV. Everywhere you look , everywhere you go, there's a heart, a hand to hold onto.

We're practicing poses for our modeling portfolios. In the last photo there, the model allowed the photographer to direct the shot; otherwise, the picture wouldn't have been half as lovely.

We're so cool. Seriously though, it was 50 degrees and windy. Perhaps I should thank the wind, however, for providing us a fogless picture. Cool! Oh yeah, that's the Golden Gate Bridge (for those of you that grew up in a cave).

Preston and I went for a ride on "The Duck", a bus/boat tour vessel. It was quackerrific!

Here we have our quackers ready to go.

What does this retaurant serve?

Weeeeeee're driving down Lombard Street.

Reunion Fun

Preston and I attended a family reunion in Sacramento. Preston's mother's cousins own the place; therefore, we got to play in the arcade, ride the slides at the waterpark, play laser tag & mini golf, drive go-carts, and eat unlimited snacks free for 2 whole days!!! As you can see, Preston is enjoying a less stressful version of "Deal or No Deal".

Here we are in the water park when it was closed to the public, allowing only the family reunion attendees to ride the slides and float in the lazy river.

Here Preston is in the highly coveted #22 (one of the fastest).

Does it look lined up?

Mo' Canada

This is Cameron Falls during heavy rainfall. I wish I had a sound effect to go with this picture.

Here's another picture of Preston's parents' ranch. If you look real close, you can see a Canadian flag flying in the center at the top of the hill. Seriously, click on the picture to get a closer look.

Yes, that's a flower in my hair, and there is a bull behind us.

These are just a couple of scenic ranchland shots (obviously).
