Yesterday I went to my family reunion. We have it every summer in August. This is actually a little more than half of my mothers side of the family. They like making babies, thats for sure!

The August 2006 magazine is on stands now. Another cute cover, more great stories.

I finally got my camera back so you'll be seeing more pictures up again. It really didn't take that long, less than a week. I'm incredibly anxious to start taking pictures again.

Good and bad news to report. The bad first. My brand new camera was leaving a small spot on all my photo's so I had to send it back. The good news is that they didn't give me a hard time about it and will fully replace it.

For the time being you'll have to do a lot more reading on my blog until I get it back! Currently I'm just working, going to my trainer, biking, and playing softball. We made the playoffs in the gay league and have two games scheduled for this Sunday.

I almost forgot to put this up. Here's the July cover of the magazine.

I saved the best for last. The Golden Gate bridge. This photo was taken opposite the city from atop the mountains.

The Japanese Garden in Golden Gate Park. The park was amazing and well worth the $3.50.

This cool firehouse on Geary Street has a great view of the Pacific Ocean from atop this hill.

The Pacific Ocean looking out from the mountains north of San Francisco.

Coit Tower atop Telegraph Hill.

A view of downtown from Coit Tower. You can see the Bay Bridge to Oakland on the left side of the picture.

The historic "Fisherman's Wharf". For those of you who like seafood this is the place to be.

This is where they turn the cable cars around. The simply push them onto a wood track system and manually turn them around and push them off.

The historic Pier 39. I'm such a touristy geek!

The inside of the prison. Al Capone was housed on the block.

"The Rock", Alcatraz, of course I went there too. You gotta!

Lombard Street. The world's most crooked street. Of course I drove down it, you just gotta do those things.

The Parker Guest House. My digs in San Fran. This place was very cute, I highly recommend it to anyone traveling here.

How "European", outdoor public toilets.

The antique street cars were out in volume.

The infamous "Castro" district of San Francisco. You can see the sign for the Castro Theater on the left.

I helped Jay move back to rural Virginia. I left from there to go to San Francisco. This was the last time I saw him. I'll miss him so much!

Jay and the two Royal Canadian "Mounties" who recently got married in Canada.

This cute little girl set up a lemonade stand just off the parade route.

For some reason I'm craving a Polar Ice Cosmo!

On to the parade. What a cool car!
