Katie and Tracy come to visit

About a month ago, Heather called to ask if I would mind hosting her friends who play on a National beach volleyball tour. As you know I always like to have company so I agreed. I didn't realize that it was the weekend after Truckee so I was not very organized, but they were so gracious I didn't feel so bad. They came in on Thursday afternoon. John picked them up from the airport and when I got home they took me out to dinner. On Friday, the tournament started so John took them up to the City (pier 31). They won their first game, but lost the second. That put them in the contenders (losers) bracket. They took the train home and raved about the ease of Cal Train. But Saturday was a different day. They won their first match in 2 games. They did the same in the second match and said that that was the best they'd played in a while. John and I had a great time sitting in the sun watching the games. By the 4:00 game, the weather had started to get windy and colder. They played well, and stayed close but could not get the edge. So, it was over. But they took 7th overall (24 teams). When we got home, John was craving a hamburger, so we went out to dinner. We fought over the bill - John had it, but Katie threw her card at the perky little waitress and told her to "get lost". Thanks Katie and Tracy, we had fun! They are off to Michigan next weekend. If you are on Facebook and are interested, you can keep up with them: Lindquist sisters.
