Back from Vacation...

Sorry....it's been a while since my last post on this site...but we just returned from a wonderful 10 day vacation.

Linda and I, in search of future travel-ography.com destinations, flew into San Francisco, rented a car, and traveled down the California coast.

Beautiful AT&T Park in San Francisco overlooking the bay.

Baseball parks were the primary focus of the trip, as we went to games in all five big league stadiums in California. An added, and somewhat unexpected, bonus was getting caught up in the wild and crazy world of Barry Bond's pursuit of baseball's immortal Home Run record. We were at games in San Francisco, Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles and San Diego where Bonds was only one HR short of tying Aaron's long standing record. He was revered in San Francisco and despised in LA and San Diego...and we were right in the middle of it, as impartial observers. It was pretty cool. Crazy scene as 'fans' wait for a chance to retrieve the 'historic ball'.

By the way, despite our 'opportunity'....we didn't witness baseball history, as we took a break from the games to go to San Diego SeaWorld one evening. Yes, we were watching Shamu, the whale, while Barry was hitting the record tying HR about 5 miles away. For the record...I'll take the Shamu performance.

I was set to capture 'history' through the lens...but Barry's bat broke.

We had a terrific time... but now it's back to work.
