Seeing Brother, Skippy, Squirrel...and Austin :)





Another wonderful Seymour Family vacation to California to see Allen...and Austin Pettis A.K.A #2. We started the weekend off with a walking wine tour of San Francisco. Allen had a White Zinfandel and loved it. (My favorite part of the wine tour was him enjoying his White Zin) From there we went on a tour of Alcatraz at night! I thought it would be scary, but it wasn't. The cells were so small. The "hole" was huge as well as the medical cells. Al Capone was there for 6 years for tax evasion. So, as much as I HATE giving money to Obama for him to waste on socialist policies, I would really hate to end up in jail for that!

The next day was the BIG day!!! Bronco Nation represented well at the San Jose stadium where we beat them 48-0. We covered the spread before the first half was over. I met my new favorite Bronco Nation Boisean....his name is Super Fan! He was leading the cheers in the Boise section the whole game. Skippy and I have been really wanting to start a grassroots revolution to implement a new cheer. Spread the word, it's the up and coming new Boise cheer. Instead of yelling Boise!....State!... we are now going to call and respond to BRONCO......NATION!!!! I went over and sat next to "Super Fan" and discussed my thoughts on the new cheer. He loved my idea and did it right away! He gave me props for the whole thing, we cheered and waved to each other the whole game and I think we might be onto something. I am anxiously awaiting the day that I return to Boise to hear my new cheer in action...with the WHOLE stadium involved!

The next day it was raining, but Squirrel came prepared with ponchos for the fam so we could watch the San Francisco 49's beat the Oakland Raiders! It was the first time any of us had been to a pro football game and it was so fun! The beer was good, the fans were intense, the game was pretty far below but it was really fun to watch!

After the game we went into San Fran to eat and watch the Giants lose to the Phillies. I was in a bar, drinking a beer, and somehow....I fell asleep. Unfortunately, this was caught on camera and I will never live it down I am sure. "The documenter" also took a picture of me sleeping on the plane the next morning too.....I think it is just a good indication of what a FUN time we had!!!

So Skip, thanks for all the tickets....Jimmy, thanks for letting me crash in the poop stick.....Squirrel, thanks for the vino and good food! Always a fun time with the fam! I love you!!!
