Barry Bonds hits no. 755
And we were there to see him tie Henry Aaron! We bought tickets months in advance because we were going to be in town for a conference. We never really expected the "chase" to last this long, but as the summer wore on and he had a few stretches without any homers we started to realize that we might actually have a chance of witnessing history. It was quite the site with police and cameras everywhere. I think we were in disbelief that he actually hit a home run as we were thinking he might try to do it in front of his hometown fans (the only ones who don't usually boo him) but when he hit the ball everyone started going crazy in the stands and he got a huge ovation afterwards. It was something we'll likely never forget - even Jake remembers it. If you look hard you can see us on the cover of the Sports Illustrated the following week.

La Jolla Beach
We took a quick side trip to the beach in La Jolla while we were in San Diego for a conference. How could anyone resist throwing this sand?
