Randy and I went out to California and married off yet another niece last week. This time it was his brother's daughter. Very nice.

Of course, since we'd never been to the stadium in Oakland, we had to take in a ballgame. Ugly stadium. Sorry team. But we checked off stadium number thirteen. Poor A's. I don't think they've got a player with a batting average over .290. It was just about like watching the Seattle game. Rough.

This is Chocolate Heaven in San Fransisco. Wow. When you walk in the door, the smell is amazing. Had to buy some chocolate, of course. It's a law in San Fransisco. Not everyone knows about it, but it's true. Really.

We had to drive down the coast, too. Saw Hearst Castle. What a place. Actually, the outside is amazingly gorgeous, but the inside is dark and pretty ugly. Stopped in Carmel - didn't see Clint Eastwood, though. But we saw some really beautiful coastline. I had to get a picture of this distinguished gentleman, as well.

By the way, after the convention in Minnesota last week, I'm expecting several baby girls born in the next year to be named Sarah. Bye!
