San Franscisco here we come

You didn't hear from us yesterday bacause we were sightseeing.  We don't usually get to sight see when we are racing but we got here early enough to  sign up for an aquarium tour and a boat ride of the San Franscisco Bay.  Since they were short volunteers I got to drive a big old Tahoe and Marilyn got to drive a Ford Focus for the tour.  I made Juliet navigate.  It's a small aquarium but full of interesting things.  We had a wonderful lunch at Player  on Pier 35 and then we took a boat ride down to the Golden Gate Bridge around Alcatraz and back.  Since we had the cars for 24 hours we went to Ghiradelli Square and we drove down Lombard Street and in the not too distant future they are passing legislation to prohibit people who don't live there from driving down the street so how lucky are we!!!  Of course, it took us FOREVER to get back.  Juliet, our professional photographer took pictures and age will post them for sure at http://phillieflyersblog.com

We came back in time for me to drive everybody down to the Lazy Dog for dinner only to run into Sandy and Tracy.

Today we were all business.  We started with breakfast with our Eastern Pa. girls, followed by Credentials and plane inspections - which we passed with flying colors.  Thank you Pat Ohllson for helping with that missing piece of paper.

It was a beautiful day and Juliet wasn't impounded yet so we decided to go for a ride.  Linda and I got to navigate so we vectored  her right over to the Golden Gate Bridge - what a beautiful view.  Linda liked it so much she took her airplane and Barb and Juliet and did it again.

Bobby I brought both my good luck bracelets - I expect to do very well.  Thank you
