Oktoberfest
We went to Octoberfest over the weekend. Having previously been to Octoberfest Cincinnati I thought it might be a little larger with more to do and see.
Sadly Indys Octoberfest was tiny little more than a handful of beer tents and food vendors, just a few little shops. And everything was so expensive! There was some polka music though and a the worlds scariest Ferris wheel. A Ferris wheel that was run by a drunk man that never seemed to end and was kind of rickety but we lived, it does join the South Dakota ferris for sketchiest ride. Anyhow it was a fun double date with Lynley and John.

Ohio Cup
Last weekend we traveled to Columbus for the Ohio Cup. Kathleen joined us as did a guy who plays basketball with Dustin who we dubbed "the stranger". We watched our Indy Blues struggle the first day trying out different lineups and having players try different positions, Saturday. But we cheered them along the way. We are a loud cheering bunch and a few folks from Detroit recognized Kathleen and I. The kids of the other players also enjoy us they are like an echo to our cheers and we fill them with sugar.
Sunday the boys played better Sunday and won two of their three games and the one they lost they played hard. Dustin had some big hits and big catches. It was a good weekend of baseball even though they didn't win them all. My friend Jen and her family got to come and little Weston with his big adorable blue eyes posed for this picture with Rooster, although he would not smile, but upon being released he ran the bases with the big kids with his baby ducklike run which is priceless - record it Jen.

Our Weekend in Northern California
For my cousins wedding we got to spend the weekend in California among the palm trees and bright sunshine and my family. Dustin and I were able to do some sightseeing since everyone was all wedding busy and he had not spent much time in Northern California.
We visited the ocean one afternoon it was too icy for swimming even for me who often swims in the icy waters of Lake Superior. But we walked along the beach and drove along route 1. We encountered the sunset piano. This was quit the find just randomly on the side of the road. It still played and Dustin played me the only song he knows on the piano. It was not something we could have planned but it was very cool.
We also took a trip to San Francisco for Dustin to see the bridge. And the city. We got up early to visit because we had flights in the afternoon. We had brunch at some restaurant in the Castro - most places were packed but we managed to share a table with folks at the waffle or egg or whatever. we also walked along part of the waterfront near the bay bridge. It was ice cold up by the golden gate and foggy but lovely by the bay bridge all sunny and warm - San Francisco is funny like that.
It was a nice quick trip and as I mention Dust is ready to pack up and move already. But I am sure he will say the same about every place we visit (well except NYC we both agree on that).
