Adventure 12- Rugby/Muir Woods

Saturday I went to the CAL VS SMC Rugby game. Two East Bay teams going against each other. It was a fun although I did not know exactly what was going on. It was a great way to start off the fun filled Saturday!Saint Marys lost 44-7...Cal is apparently one of the top Rugby teams in the Nation.

After the Rugby game went to Muir Woods with a friend who is actually also the athletic trainer at Saint Marys. Muir woods is a National Monument with 240 acres of Red Wood Trees...it was spectacular.  Below is the welcome sign into Muir Woods...
As I was walking through Muir Woods and seeing the Red woods, I just could not believe how big they were. I read about them in books and in text book and it does not do it justice...have to see it to believe just how beautiful this place is!

The path to the unknown....

Adventure 11- Biking Across the Golden Gate Bridge

For my birthday I wanted to do something new and exciting! Ali and Bryn joined me on my birthday adventure weeekend with one rule...It had to be new and exciting enough to go into the blog.
We rented bikes and rode them around the city then went across the Golden Gate Bridge... 18 mile ride

Off we go...
 

Almost done....Had to pause half way for a photo opp!



The other side of the bridge...Sausalito ( Ali and Bryn said reminded them of Italy)
 

We took a ferry back so we could get the bikes back on time came into Port of San Francisco



I had such a fun Birthday...the ride was well worth it! Ali and Bryn thank you for riding along with me and helping me cross off an adventure on the list. It was a great day and thank you for the birthday wishes.

Adventure 10- Beach Blanket Babylon Blvd

This was a hilarious show put on with only 10 cast members. It is a zany musical spoof of pop culture with extravagant costumes and outrageously huge hats.

Adventure 9- Brendan and Amy come to visit!

Brendan and Amy came to visit me at campus! Great to see them and I love Brendan's Beard! Saint Marys is in the background of us.

Adventure 8- Long Island

I know what you are thinking...I thought this took place on the West coast? Well traveled with the team to Long Island to play a couple of games. We lost to Hofstra but beat Long Island University. So really I should have taken a picture of the Long island Rail Road because I figured out how to use it and transfer and meet up with some friends from Syracuse in NYC! Great to see some of the gang!
