California, No Doubt About It

This was a second after I heard this bad girl fire up.  I gotta thank Riley for lending me this beast.  I hope that the next time my legs are presented in a public forum I have a chance to put some meat on 'em.

Nothing like The Bay Area.  We hopped the cable cars for a bit and man was I glad I can't walk after seeing those hills.

That's the real Alcatraz in the background.  Mom was thrilled to see it, I just reverted to my prison yard skills and tried not to look anyone in the eye.

Later that same day I ended up in Baby Alcatraz with Ella and my new elephant puppet friend, Ted.

Little known fact: Did you know that the bridge pictured here is just 75 years old?  It was quite impressive.   What I don't get is why they just didn't move the green bits closer together and make a nice lake.

Stopping to smell these babies you didn't really need to be that close.  It was a wall of roses as big as my head.  This was the courtyard where the big party was to go down after the wedding.  PS Dad cannot dance a lick.

Tuxedo onsie was the perfect choice for the rehearsal dinner.  Here I am with the bride, Kelly, and the groom, Rich.  Rich seemed quite jealous that he could not wear something this awesome to his own party.   Save something for the honeymoon.

This picture should have a thermometer.  Bow tie and tweed suit in California in May.  Nothing like a short scream during a wedding ceremony to get oneself into the shady bits.

One of my new friends, Sara Miller.  She helps children for a living as a Pediatrics PA.  Helluva nice gal, nice work Captain.

I'm really getting up there.   We've ridded ourselves of the :)  Now, did somebody say something about yellow vegetables?  What are they? And do you have some?

Baby loungin'.  Is there a Cubs game on TV? Oh, right, no TV until I'm 24 months.  They probably won't be in the World Series then either.
