In a fog bank. Sometimes we could glimpse land a long way off, but most of the time it was just fog and water. Our ship sounded it's fog horn, and that was pretty cool. On Monday morning, we pulled into the harbor in Juneau. Land!<br />

Bruce's mom is turning 80 on her birthday and she wanted to go on a trip together. So, with her help, Bruce's brother and sisters, along with their spouses and mom's cousin, enjoyed a great cruise together. We started in Seattle.<br />

No way was I going to smash my camera. No way was I taking any pictures during the tour either.<br />
<br />
That was so sad because I saw so my things to take pictures of! The biggest regret: a whole garden of Dahlias that were in full bloom. I don't know much about Dahlias, even having to ask what they were called. What beautiful flowers! I will have to go back some other day on some other trip to San Fransisco just for that garden.<br />
<br />
The only pictures I didn't take on my phone at Golden Gate Park were taken on the 5 minute walk back to where the car was parked. I had to make it count.<br />

Bruce needs adventure whenever we travel. No relaxing by the pool for us! We have a saying that, "It's not a family trip unless someone almost dies." {sigh}<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN5qRZNf8nrMwf0dXfnOTwGAqoRrdrBMzuWEFXYhzIge2hSc76al-8MBamzDneFFD4Q7jtffDgf8VYRl-Z8HnCNdUSvSObbbKBHT1Il2uBMwS_0qu0fQLy8mz-pdg9I6HO7GElvUyMsYY/s1600/aug100.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN5qRZNf8nrMwf0dXfnOTwGAqoRrdrBMzuWEFXYhzIge2hSc76al-8MBamzDneFFD4Q7jtffDgf8VYRl-Z8HnCNdUSvSObbbKBHT1Il2uBMwS_0qu0fQLy8mz-pdg9I6HO7GElvUyMsYY/s1600/aug100.jpg" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
On this trip we drove segways in Golden Gate Park. Brian was the one who almost died. He hit a drain and his segway tried to buck him off, but he survived a high speed dismount without breaking his face or his collar bone. True to family tradition, he needed a good mocking after that. <br />

It was fun, but I can't say I'll be lining up to do it again. Give me a cute little pony any day.<br />
<br />
Have you seen Weird Al's video "White and Nerdy?" If you haven't, you need to look it up. Now. It features Donny Osmond and it's totally worth a watch. Just the week before our trip I had been talking to a boy at the barn who rides with me and we laughed about how funny the video was. I sent him this picture:<br />

I'm just so cool. <br />

Look! Bruce can even do his standard picture pose while on a segway and while holding my hand. Staggering.<br />

We wanted to take a tour of Alcatraz while we were in SF, but the tours fill up months in advance, and we didn't plan ahead. Next time.<br />

On our trip to see Brian and Lindsey, we spent a day in San Francisco. I love this town! It's such an interesting blend of old and new. Bruce needed to be out on the water, so we took a boat tour of the bay, leaving from Pier 39 which is where the sea lions hang out.<br />

After our tour and little bit of shopping (!) we picked up a picnic from Boudin's Bakery and drove out to Land's End, at the mouth of the Bay. A different perspective and another great view!<br />

We stayed in a hotel close to the stadium and walked to the game. I'm not saying the walk was a bit sketchy, but... Anywho, we got there in one piece and found our seats. What a view!<br />

The A's won, which put the crowd in a good mood, which is a good thing considering A's fans are most likely Raiders fans too. We even survived the walk back to the hotel, so the night was a success!<br />

This was pretty fun. We bypassed the saloon hall girl costumes and went Victorian for our theme. Bruce knew right away which rifle he wanted to hold. The photographer wanted to know if we wanted liquor bottles in our picture. I said, "Probably not, but do you have a bible I can hold?"<br />

I can't even wrap my brain around that! I do love my house. One of things I love most about my house is the porch. But it has been under-utilized. For 20 years.<br />

Nothing going on there. Walk right to end and there is a little alcove where I kept large rocks. Large rocks? Yes, to weigh down decorations by my front door. Such a waste of space. Until now. <br />

I'm really into making things happen lately. Maybe it's because I'm 50 now and I feel time passing. I guess I figure that if it's going to happen I'd better get on with it!<br />

Shannon had her shadbelly time too- placing 5th in her class, which included the younger riders and their very pricey horses. We won the same ribbon in our Classics!<br />

This is unusual for us because Snoopy likes to be speedy at horse shows and it's normal for me to feel like I'm being run away with. The solution: carry a threatening riding crop and borrow some spurs. I have never worn spurs. I really don't know how to use them, so I think I just tickled him a bit. I guess I'll have to practice with them at home. Poor Snoopy.<br />

We were assigned to help direct people through the baptismal font area. Our temple is beautiful- filled with stained glass, marble, crystal and mahogany. I went with the YW through the temple last night, so I've already been through twice and I'm going again with my kids later this month. Yeay for my temple!!<br />
