America's Cup 2013

September 8, 2013

San Francisco has been taken over by Americas Cup events since last year. We finally got a chance to check it out, courtesy of Damien, Woody and the boys, who set up an amazing viewing center at Crissy Field.



















It's days like this that make me fall in love with San Francisco all over again.

Vulcan-Calgary 2013

September 1, 2013

For the Labor Day weekend, Will and I headed up to Vulcan/Calgary to hang out with my parents and do a little golfing.



Changing of the guard, the old and new golf carts.

On Sunday, we headed up to Sunday and we had lunch with a bunch of Calgary pals, including my ladies!


In the afternoon before our flight, Will and I went skeet shooting at a sport club by Carstairs with Tyler and Karolina:









I'm pretty bad at it, but it sure was fun!
