Muir Overlook

Last Sunday Keith and I took a drive to the coast to explore Muir woods and beach. We used the new car navigation system Keith got me for my birthday to find our way around the winding coastal roads. First we went to the Muir Overlook and saw a beautiful view of the coast. The fog was rolling in so everything had a silvery glow. The fog, the clouds and the water all melted together to create the illusion of a never ending horizon. It was breathtaking.



Then we drove over to an overlook point with an amazing view of the San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. There was a thick fog rolling down out of the hills and down into the bay. The fog was so thick and fast moving that it looked like a waterfall. I've never seen anything like it. You could just make out the bridge and bay underneath the violet fog during sunset until the fog entirely encompassed them by nightfall. It was spectacular.

Go Dawgs! Go Bears!

For part of my birthday present Keith gave me tickets to the Cal UW Football game. We had a blast! Keith wore his Cal gear and I wore my UW gear.

Keith got us seats right on the border of the home and visiting fans in the stadium so that we could cheer for both teams. It was awesome. I've never been inside Memorial Stadium before. It is huge and we had fantastic seats. We were 15 rows up from the sidelines - high enough to see over the cheerleaders, but close enough to hear the players yell. The stadium held a soldout crowd of football fans. Even though it was a late October game it was over 80 degrees outside. I even got a sunburn! I love California weather.

The game was really close with UW scoring to tie with no time left on the clock. Cal won it in overtime and the crowd went wild. Going to this game was one of the most fun things I've done in a long time. I loved it!

Watch our video from the game! This is a clip of the UW fans celebrating a fantastic play.
