San Francisco Marathon Vacation 1

We headed to San Francisco last weekend to vacation and for Barbara to run the Nike Women's Marathon.  We stayed downtown in a suite with Grandpa and Nana.  Most of our activity Friday, Saturday, and Sunday was centered around the marathon.  We had some time for sightseeing on Saturday.  Sunday Barbara ran the marathon finished in good spirits with her summer training partner.  Picasa Link

Approaching the Finish

Done!

Where is the finish line?

Nick's 40th Birthday

Nick, the baby of the Boyce family, turned 40 this weekend.  Nick and family are also celebrating their new house!  They are building a house a little further out in northwest Houston.  They really did some work on their current house and it has sold, too.  Soon they will be renting their current house until the new one is ready to move into.

Sunday we went to the Ashland family picnic and Moody Gardens in Galveston.  It was our first time to the water park there in a couple of years.  They now have a small wave pool and a lazy river.  Afterwards we drove around Galveston and looked at ships and oil rigs.  The Ocean Saratoga was one of the oil rigs being worked on.  Sean's Dziadziu loves Saratoga, the race track, so we took a picture.  The Ocean Saratoga was the "other" leaking oil rig in the Gulf during the Deepwater Horizon spill last year - but not nearly as severe.

5 Little Butterflies Sitting in a Cage...

Here are pictures of the butterflies we hatched.  They are very frisky and Barley loves them.  She loves them so much that they spend most of their time suspended from the ceiling fan in the office - apparently the only place in the house that Barley can't get to.  Sean's revelations of the week: national catfish day is on June 25th and pteradons like canned tuna.  I think he made the latter revelation up, the former I verified on Wikipedia (which the Russians characters in Neal Stephenson's new tome call "Vikipedya." which I find hilarious.)
