Once again we experienced an unusally warm and sunny weekend in NorCal, so we took full advantage of the weather. Mike's been wanting to visit the USS Hornet Museum, so we spent Saturday afternoon touring 70% of the aircraft carrier. We toured the hanger deck, engine room and the bridge with two Navy veterans who told interesting stories of their days in the service. The USS Hornet is best known for her combat in WWII, her tour in the Cold War, and her Apollo 11 recovery of the astronauts who landed on the moon.

SUNDAY
My co-worker told me about a Chihuahua Meet-Up that meets the first Sunday of every month. Meet-Ups are very popular in San Francisco. They bring together folks with similiar interests...there are photography meet-ups, meet-ups for owners of other breeds of dogs, and so on.... Anyhow, my co-worker and I both share a love of Chi's along with another co-worker, so we all met up at the Chi Meet on Sunday. It was one of the cutest things we've ever seen! I estimate there were 50 tiny, but mighty Chi's running all over the place! The Meet-Up featured a raffle to raise funds for displaced Chi's, dog accessories and clothing items for sale, adoptable Chi's needing a loving home, and a vet performing various services. I didn't take too many photos, but the few I did take will give you an idea of the fun.
Can you spot Toby and Bella with their new friends?
After spending a couple of hours at the Meet-Up, we decided to head over to Ocean Beach to continue relishing in the warm weather. The micro-climates in the Bay Area amaze me....it was really warm at the dog park, yet when we headed to the beach a mile away it was super windy and cool. Still an absolutely gorgeous day!
Bella's helping me search for sand dollars.
