Weekend in the Bay

This past weekend Dave and I took at trip to the Bay Area along with Cassie and Bill.  Our purpose of the trip - rack out our car!  Bills brother, Peter, manages a store in San Jose called Rack N Road.  Anything you can put on the outside of a car, they can do.  Since Peter is moving to Europe permanently, we thought we'd take advantage of the "family" discount he offered us. Go big or go home was our motto, so we went crazy! We were never going to get a 50% off discount like this again!  We got a new racks, a Thule cargo box, a kayak rack, and a four-bike hitch-mounted bike rack. Oh, and we got a hitch installed! Total savings, over $1,000, not including the free installation we received.

Since we needed to bring our car to the bay for installation, we decided to make the most of the weekend.  Saturday night we went to an Oakland A's vs. Boston Red Sox baseball game, and on the way home on Sunday, we stopped at the Jelly Belly factory.  It was a full weekend, but a good one!
