Exploring San Francisco's

Today was get out and explore San Francisco day. We went to Twin Peaks (which was awesome).


After checking out the top of San Francisco, we went to the Zoo, which was pretty busy even though it was not superb weather. We went and saw all sorts of wild animals including ostri, giraffes, and others. All in all, it was a great day!

Wine Country Awesomeness

Hello friends,

After Kristen's graduation, we decided that it was time to celebrate a little bit more, so we decided to head to wine country.

We visited several lovely places (Silver Oak, Merryvale, Grgich Hills, and Prager) and braved the heat. The highlight for me was driving the minivan around that I rented (I am not kidding). It was a great day and everyone had a lot of fun.

That's all for now.

Graduation Day!!!!

Hello loyal blog readers (okay all four of you). Today was Kristen's graduation from Berkeley's business school. It was a scorcher today! The friends and family sat in the merciless sun in the Greek Theater.

The ceremony was nice and included a speech from the CEO of VS Spirits (Absolut is a brand of theirs). He was from Sweden, and I kept waiting for him to go "It's cold outside, bundle up" (reference to commercial) or try to sell me some Ikea furniture. In all seriousness, it was a wonderful day, and we are all so very proud of Kristen.

I should have a lot more free time as I intend to retire now that Kristen has graduated and can support us.

Happy Friday, and have a great weekend.

Matt
