Fortified Virtual Bowling in Yosemite

San Francisco was the place to be this past Saturday (July 23, 2005) . How do we know? Because we were trapped in a traffic jam on I-80 for quite some time with all the other people who wanted in the city. At least we had good company - our friends Rob and Lisa were along for the ride.

This was to be a dual adventure - MeLissa would be retrieving all but the bare essentials from her office in anticipation of her last day on Friday. Then, we planned to go do something - we weren't sure what, but we figured we would decide when the time came...and we did! Unfortunately, we forgot to grab our camera so we've scoured the web for a few pictures of the sites we've seen taken by others.

After grabbing MeLissa's two measly boxes, we all decided to visit Fort Point. On the way there, we enjoyed flying down Franklin street....a street we wouldn't suggest you ride your bike up! We also were able to see many sites of San Francisco, such as the Palace of Fine Arts on our way. You can see quite a few sites of San Francisco here.

We arrived at Ft. Point and were just in time to join a tour that told us all about what life on the fort was like. After visiting all the rooms in the fort and after MeLissa made excellent use of the fabulous acoustics of the fort by singing, opera style, everything she said to the others, we made our way to another "must-see" San Francisco attraction - Lombard street. This street is definitely the most winding road we've ever traveled on!

This short excursion was a perfect prelude to our next activity - virtual bowling at the Metreon! We had a blast trying to knock down pins in both Yosemite and the Roman Columns games. Lisa and MeLissa were the bowling queens, but we question whether luck had something to do with it since neither of us did well in both games!

After we returned to Hayward, we spent some time at Lisa and Rob's house playing with Leo, their black kitty, and watching a comedy video...that is until MeLissa, ever the morning person, dozed off. She woke up long enough to drive Mark and she home and then jumped into bed and continued her dreams.
