That was a nice trip

We went to San Francisco a few 

weeks ago, it was my first time.

 Handel's Messiah was the main event

 It was beautiful, but to Tom and the conductor's 

dismay, people clapped between movements!

 My cousins Anduin, Ryan, and Clark happened 

to be in town so we met at the Legion of Honor.

 Then we went to visit Tom's best man and his

family in San Jose, here petting sting rays.

 The Monterrey Bay Aquarium was another

first for me, with its jellyfish exhibits (they get 

stuck in corners so their tanks are round).

Cioppino at Phil's Fish Market.

 New candidate for favorite food.

Onboard the aircraft carrier

 USS Hornet, now a museum.
