Gleeful Guests

Auntie Cussy and Uncle Andy came to the Bay for a couple of days to visit. They're visits are always too short, but this one was shortest by far! We had enough time to visit with some of Andrew's family that was also in town, have a few meals together and a little day trip to South City.

The weather was A-mazing! We have had a nice break from the rain and have been reaching 80 degrees for the last week. It was especially a treat for CassAndrew who have been weathering the snow for the last few months. Hopefully they'll be back soon since we miss them already!

Glad for the Guests,

The Green Bay Hike

Dad and I went to Fleet Week in San Francisco. It was a long day, but quite enjoyable. We cleverly found some free parking (saving $40!) and commenced out stroll along the piers. We hung out around Pier 39 for a little while, then went to the USS Green Bay to take a tour. While we were waiting in line, we had a great view of the Blue Angels show!

Once aboard the USS Green Bay, we were able to take a semi-self-guided tour of the ship. It was a little claustrophobic when a crowd got stuck in one room with only one entrance and one exit, but we survived. What I almost didn't survive was all of the stair wells! I don't know why I never put two and two together, but it didn't even cross my mind that I would have to climb and descend that many flights of stairs! I think there were probably about 12-15 stairwells that are really more like latters than stairs.

All in all, it was a great day. The weather, though overcast, was ideal City weather. No wind! And the fog lifted enough to allow the Blue Angels to complete their whole show. It was a looooong day, but at least I got my exercise in for the week!

Out of Breath, but Full of Joy,
