Sloshball

Time to learn a new game:



Waiting my turn.
Kick the ball as far as you can, and RUN!
...or jog...
At 2nd base, empty your glass and refill before you can continue.
This is me pitching.
While the game was on, a few people not brave enough to compete, cooked.
Caroline enjoying the sun. And the thrill of the game ofcourse.
The ball did get stuck in a tree a few times, giving the players a much needed breather.
The supporters.
Mmmm...sausage!
On our way back, the road seemed windier than ever. I wasn't sure if it was a reaction to all the sloshballing.
Apparently, we had come across one of the most windy streets of San Francisco.
Alcatraz in the back.
While not the most windy street, Lombard is the most famous.
Chilling on the couch getting some much needed rest.

Fleet week

First weekend in our new place, and the Navy decides to drop by with a few of their airplanes. We went up to the roof, and took a closer look.
A view from the rooftop. You can see Alcatraz and the Navy's "Blue Angles" in the horizon.
Nob Hill.
The Bay Bridge.
Another view from the rooftop.

The planes flew super close to each other, and made all these crazy flips and turns. It was a great show.
There were a lot of people looking at the show from their rooftops.

The smoke really showed the path the airplanes flew.
It was windy up there, you can see some of our neighbors in the back.
One of the more dramatic drops, those pilots must have a load of fun!

Back home in San Francisco.

On our way out the door to see a baseball game.
At the stadium.
The Oakland Athletic's vs. the Los Angeles Angels. Sadly, the local team lost 2-3.

While relaxing on the sun deck, this little hummingbird came by to have a drink with us.

Yet another look at the apartment.
Kinda hard to see, but yes this is a picture of our living room. The glassdoors in the back leads to the kitchen.
Kitchen.
Dining spot in the kitchen. The cats did not however come with the place.

We went out to celebrate the move in, and to get a look at the city.
