Bug had a water polo tournament in San Jose this weekend--which worked great because there were two other things going on down there that I wanted to hit up. So, first we watched him play.
Well, some of us watched him play--Peanut finished another book. He gets a lot of reading done when we go to these tournaments, and at least he's outside.
Between the games, we ran to pick up a bench seat for the new van--that's the first step in our cargo van conversion and it's exciting to be starting!
Then, after the last game, we drove to Mountain View for their German Christmas Market, which was very underwhelming and overwhelming at the same time. I don't know that it really captures the spirit of the European markets in the first place, but it was kind of small, and there were thousands of people croweded around all the booths and in line at every food booth. We didn't want to wait for almost an hour to eat, so tried to look at some of the stalls and then went to an Italian restaurant down the street. I really hope we can go see the real markets someday--and hope that at least some of them aren't as crowded as pretty much any event we try to attend in the Bay Area.
