Baby in the Park
Last weekend, we spent a good amount of time out and about with Marion. First we went to Golden Gate Park for the annual Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. For those that don't know what it is–we didn't before we went–it is a large free concert in Golden Gate Park spanning the whole weekend, with over seventy bands, five stages, and over a hundred thousand people, sponsored by an eccentric billionaire. Only in San Francisco, right? We saw three or four bands, and since it coincided with Fleet Week, we also got to see the Blue Angels a few times. Marion loved it because it gave me an excuse to dance around for hours while holding her, which is pretty much all she wants, anyway.
The next day we woke up at the crack of dawn and headed up to Petaluma to watch Jackie cox at the Wine Country Rowing Classic. Jackie had a great time rowing with her old team from Los Gatos. It was her first time getting back on the water since Marion was born. Marion and I had fun cheering her on and taking photos. After that, we headed back to Golden Gate Park. This time, however, we were going to visit some friends of mine from college. Several of them were in town for my friend, Megan's, wedding and decided to get together in Golden Gate Park the day after the wedding for some kickball and food.
