Lesley & Ty's Weekend

Tim spent the weekend at a conference for Landscape Architects. That means that we had the weekend all to ourselves. We have officially entered my favorite time of the year here in San Francisco. It is finally our summer! We have a little feel of fall, but with the sunniness of summer. It is beautiful now! Ty and I went to the Blues Festival. Someone estimated that there were 500,000 people there. I'm not sure about that. But, it sure helps to have a big stroller to push through the crowds. We only went for an hour or so, but we listened to Michelle Shocked.

Because the event was FREE, everyone was there! Yes, everyone...bikers, yuppies, hippies, Rasta dudes, country western folks, bridge & tunnel folks...and, lots of babies! Apparently, an investment banker pays for the entire event---six stages of concurrent concerts all weekend - 72 acts in all. Emmylou Harris closed the event last night, but it was too late for us. Ty has now attended his first concert. Of course, I had to dodge the pot smoking. :>

On Sunday, Ty and I went to Fleet Week at Crissy Field. Every year, the Blue Angels perform over San Francisco as part of the Fleet Week events. I've seen it probably 5 years and it is still amazing!!! We got a great spot at Crissy Field and we had a great time. Ty didn't know about the loud jets screaming right over us, but just maybe...




Check out the Blue Angels in the sky above the bridge!
