Spending time with the Cheng's and friends, May 20-21st 
Entered in the "Bay to Breaker" annual 12k walk/run, where Joe realizes he's old and wearing down.  It didn't help that we got to the area at 5:am, since Cecelia had volunteered us to be a human fence for the "real racers".

 

We also went hiking at Huddart County Park, near Mountain View.  There were plenty of trees to block the sun, which was beating down pretty hard the past weekend.  The valley had a record breaking weekend in terms of heat -- almost 100 degrees.

San Francisco, May 13th
We had an urge to eat Dim Sum at San Francisco's Chinatown.

Hey, Ryan and Sean, Uncle Joe's a fireman!

Tour of Alcatraz Island... the well known maximum security penitentiary, and possibly the only place we can afford to live if the housing costs still increase.  :)

Seagulls were plentiful in the Bay Area... especially at Fisherman's Wharf where they're fat and happy with people feeding them sourdough bread. alcatraz_seagull.jpg (50191 bytes)

We went to see Cirque Du Soleil's, a traveling circus / broadway show.  This year's show was called Dralion... an Asian production.  I'd recommend the show to anyone.

The music was great, the performances were amazing to watch and the sidekicks were pretty darn funny!  Good stuff... and best of all, Cisco treated us out!
