Some Photos of Summer, 2016

These photos are in order as taken with my iPhone. It's been a great summer!

The stage at Stagecoach Park, the first of the TGIF Concerts in the Park

Here we are at Fall Brewing in Northpark with Ashley

Fall Brewing is co-owned by our new friend, Ray, who joined us for the Grenache-A-Rama

It's a fun spot and Ray makes great beer!

Lots of choices and quite interesting decor

Ash and me

Steve and Lynn joined us too and that's Ray and Jackie with Lorri and Ashley

And another

Steve, me, Ray and Jackie and some aging barrels

Later that day we went to The Olde Sod Irish pub with Ashley's boyfriend, Frank, and some friends. Sara joined us too.

This is on the Coaster on the way to see a Padres afternoon game against the Orioles

You can no longer have alcoholic beverages on the Coaster so we were forced to add vodka to our orange juice.

c'mon, you can't ride to a ball game without getting in the spirit!

We met Tom and Patty for more pre-game festivities

...and here we all are

Once again, Tom and Patty's son Ryan got good seats for us. Thanks Ryan!

The scoreboard

Wil Myers, still our only legitimate major leaguer!

Happy Hour at 3rd Corner gathering for a photo

Selfie. Hmmm, where was this taken?

I think we're at the north and of Solana Beach, just south of the South Cardiff parking lot.

The Explorer returns home from LA

A glass of wine in the back yard perhaps?

Granddaughter Malarie came to visit from Baltimore!

Taken from the stairs at D Street. That's Mal, right in the middle.

I confess. I like beer.

Lorri was the big winner for the day

This is her horse, good old #6

She was so happy!

Good bye, Explorer... (sniff, sniff)

At least we know it went to a good home - Greg and Kelly bought it.

And we have Lorri's new car, the Tiguan, to take it's place.

We went for a nice ride around Leucadia and then the Village. This is the top of Beacons.
