The day was a success and the weather perfect. At church today, there wasn't a single person who attended the picnic yesterday that didn't have a little rosy look to their complexion. Nate and I came home a little more red than we would have liked.

San Francisco Stake 80th Anniversary Celebration
Our stake is having a massive celebration to commemorate 80 years since its formation. To help celebrate, the stake has come up with tons of activites that will help us learn about the early saints who settled in California. Yesterday, the stake held a picnic at a local park where there were games such as panning for gold, handcart races, and more.
Full of Surprises
San Francisco never ceases to amaze me with how much it has to offer. With a festival for almost anything you can think of, there is always something new and exciting to discover. Last week while at work, there began to be a buzz around the office. I noticed tons of people standing at the window watching the bay. I gazed out to the bay in time to see a tall ship sail by with a large American Flag blowing in the breeze: a gorgeous sight!
The tall ship marked the start of the Festival of Sail. For the remainder of the afternoon, the bay was a fury of ships and boats of every kind. It was an amazing site. I have never seen so many ships on the bay at one time. I watched old naval ships go by, several tall ships, barges, and tons of sailboats. This picture, sadly, doesn't do the parade of sail justice.
The next day I was surprised when I arrived home from work to find Broadway in Millbrae blocked off with a live band, the Hot Rods, performing in the middle of the street. They performed old hits such as Buddy Holly, the Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, Credence Clearwater Revival, etc. In addition, Broadway was full of old cars from the 60's and 70's. Some were pretty cool. Nate and I had a great time joining other people in the streets dancing to some great tunes!

We Love Geocaching...
...and we're not afraid to admit to it. Lately we have found quite a few caches with our friends, the Chipmans. Here are a few pictures from our latest adventures. On our last trip we even found a "travel bug" that has traveled all the way from the UK! Check it here.
This one was taken on a camera phone at night, but it illustrates the lengths we go to when retrieving a cache.
