Jamino’s boss called him one day and out of the blue said that he was going to give Jamio a gift. He bought me plane tickets to go out and visit. So two weekends after Katie’s visit I went out to Reno/Carson. Jamino and I had such a great time. We found some wonderful independently owned restaurants to frequent. We drove the 20 miles to Tahoe and took a evening “Booze Cruise” on a sailboat—it was gorgeous. Being out on the lake was so refreshing, soothing, and peaceful; the stresses I had acquired over the last several months just melted away. 
The beach 20 minutes from where Jamino lives
It's a fully functioning beach that rents kayaks, paddle boats, jet skis, and ski boats. On the beach are huge grass shade umbrellas.
That's the M.S. Dixie, it's a giant paddle boat which does day cruises and dinner/dancing cruises. We'll definitely have to try it sometime!
The water was so clear and the sand was so soft.
That sailboat is the Woodwind II which is the boat we went on.
The water was so calm and there was a light cool breeze.
We had a blast!!
Then the next day we slept in, went to lunch then we took off for San Francisco. 3 ½ hours later we were sitting in traffic waiting to cross the Bay Bridge. The drive was so fast and straight forward I’m really excited to be living so close.
Jamino's first MLB game
Hot dog at the ballpark!
The stadium was packed--it was last weekend of the season
And the San Francisco Giants were playing the LA Dogers.

Isn't the stadium awesome!
Here we are--I'm sporting my new Giants hoodie. I figure if we're gonna live this close we'll have to make it to few games every season. I can't imagine a summer without baseball. And though it' not the Braves it's better than the AAA SLC Bees that we're used to.
We couldn't believe our luck when we saw the line up--we got to see Greg Maddux Pitch! I've been a Maddux fan for years (obviously, cause I'm a Braves fan).
And we got to see Manny Ramirez play--here he is at bat!! Jamino thought he had died and gone to heaven, seeing two legends play--just 25 rows away!!
LA won 2 -1
It was so fun we didn't want to leave
So we walked along the pier behind the stadium for almost and hour--it was beautiful.
To end the weekend Jamino got in trouble. I was commenting on the noises his car was making and I started asking about the regular maintenance that should have been happening. It turns out the oil hadn't been checked or changed in quite some time so I demanded that he check the oil right then and there. IT WAS TOTALLY EMPTY! Just a little sludge. Well I kind of freaked out and Jamino got in trouble but when we went to get the oil changed, we discovered that Walmart can open your head lights and clean all of the cloudy film out and then reseal the head lights. It was amazing--they were so clear! Then we went to see Ghosttown at the theater. Pretty cute movie. All and all an amazing weekend full of fun!

I'll always love that picture of you guys on the boat! I see you didn't post too many of those artistic angled pictures mom hates! She'll appreciate that!
It looked like you both had a lot of fun. What a great present. You look great! Take care.
