The Shelley Family: 2009

San Francisco Giants

So, if you've been wondering why we have been playing ward softball for the last three months it's because Jay has decided to ditch his career as an accountant and go play for the San Francisco Giants. It's much more fun and better pay!! ( He's gotten good over the last three months) He's the one up to hit. O.k. so not really, but it sounded good to me for an excuse for not updating our blog.

Taking you back in time to August, here's an update of our last couple of weeks in California

We went and watched the San Francisco Giants with Jay's office. Kayla got this Giants teddy bear from a cute little girl named Kate. (one of the partners daughters)

Jay the accountant!

This big building behind Jay is WTAS in San Francisco where Jay worked for the summer.

Jay at his very own desk.

Before watching the Giants game Kayla and I went to check out Jay's office. This is the view from the seventeenth floor. He has a great view of the city!

Yes, this is Jay with a mustache. They had a mustache growing contest at work and Jay won the loser prize. We both think it was a much better prize than the t-shirt the winner got.

Muir Woods

A couple of years ago Jay and I took a road trip and went to the redwood national forest and loved it! While we were in San Francisco someone recommended we go see the Muir Woods because they had redwoods. It was nice, but not very impressive after having seen the real deal.

There was an area in the Muir Woods where the lady bugs would come and breed. I've never seen so many lady bugs in my life. They were everywhere including all over us!

Stensin Beach

After going to the Muir woods we stopped at Stensin beach. It was a great day to fly our kite but not so great to take a swim. I was freezing. I couldn't believe people were actually swimming without a wet suit. Crazy!

Kayla's beach reaction

Miss Kayla thought the beach was pretty cool in the beginning...

then she realized it was cold...

and she was tired and hungry...

and that's when she lost it.

Mt. Tilamapias

Our last stop for the day, on our grand adventure, was the top of Mt. Tilamapias. The view was spectacular! We watched the sun set over the ocean and it was breath taking.
