Crazy Phillies Fans

Yesterday all of Philadelphia had Phillies fever.  I talked about the Phils with the guy who installed my cable, at the grocery store and even in a job interview.  There are Phillies flags and banners everywhere, and most businesses have encouraged their staff to wear Phillies shirts to work.

While walking down Market Street, I witnessed a crazy Phillies fan getting arrested.  He had been paddling down the Schuylkill River on a surfboard, wearing a Phillies shirt and joker style face paint.  I hope some of this craziness works tonight, as the Phillies are down 3-1 in the series!

Laguna Beach

For our final day in LA, I spent the day at Laguna Beach with Vincent's boss's wife and daughter.  Laguna Beach is beautiful - much more relaxed and laid back compared to LA.  There is a great boardwalk along the beach and cliffs, as well as tidal pools to explore.

LA

On Monday, while Vincent was in meetings, I drove to LA.  Thanks to the GPS, I was able to drive all over the city and see a lot of the sites.  It's funny - you see it on TV and in the movies so much, that when you actually get there, it all seems very familiar already.

Rodeo Drive

Venice Beach - there really are guys working out on the beach - I didn't take pictures due to the revealing nature of their clothing...



San Diego Zoo

We were like a couple of kids at the zoo - it was so much fun.

We spent Thanksgiving weekend in California and it was a fabulous weekend.  California is beautiful and we enjoyed every minute.

Old town San Diego



We went on a tour of this old ship

And a Russian submarine!

We were there...

Last night Doc Halladay threw a no-hitter in the first game of the post-season, and we were there!

The crowd was so wild you could feel the stadium shake!

And then we went for a cheesesteak... of course.
