Wicked show in San Fransisco

Wicked show in San Fransisco

As I mentioned in my previous blog post, we went to see Wicked on Saturday night at the Orpheum Theatre.  The Safeway Employees' Association (SEA) was one of the group sponsors that night, so there were a bunch of people from Safeway.  Before the show, we went to Osha Thai for dinner, which was really nice.  We sat in the balcony, which ended up being great.  I never once thought we were sitting too far away, or it was too difficult to see what was going on.  Even…

Brentwood Cornfest 2009 fireworks

Beginning of the Show Grand Finale Gary and Charisse invited us to join them at the Brentwood Cornfest last night in Brentwood, CA.  Charisse works for the High School so she was able to get us into where they shoot off the fireworks from the school football field.  Being so close to the fireworks was great because they were really LOUD (the first few were really loud) and really BRIGHT.  To give you an idea of how close we were, I kept having to shift the video because…

4th of July 2009

4th of July 2009

Went to the Danville, CA parade this morning and Tyler seemed to love it.  I hadn't been to a 4th of July parade in years so it was really fun to get in the mood for the fireworks in San Ramon.  It was a little warm for a few minutes but after 30 minutes the sun was blocked by a tree so it was perfect parade watching weather this morning.  We stayed all three hours and it was really fun.  I was a candy catching beast but I…

Jeremy and the baby bird

Jeremy and the baby bird

Campo di bocce

Campo di bocce

Went to Campo di Bocce last night in Livermore, CA.  I hadn't ever played bocce ball before, but it was really fun.  Rolling a little ball down a court is my kind of sport.

Made it to Minneapolis

Made it to Minneapolis

I made it to my hotel a few minutes ago and wanted to upload the pictures I took today. They aren't anything spectacular, but I like to take pictures, so bare with me. I actually ended up getting on the flight I was scheduled to be on in Salt Lake City, but my bag didn't. The flight doesn't get in for another 3 hours, so I'm doubting I'll see it tonight, but hopefully it will get here in the morning. Off to go find some food and explore…
