One Crazy Saturday

While Joy was having a quiet Saturday morning in  our backyard, Brett realized that they could potentially get a three for one deal.  The ICC intern team was flying through SFO on their way back from Singapore to Nashville, so there would be an opportunity to surprise Bryce.  Then there was a snafu with the Post Office not delivering a package on time to one of the ICC team members while they were in California for two days.  And in case, it didn't work out time wise, we arranged to meet Wendy and James for lunch and Top Golf in Burlingame.  Joy made the comment that her spontaneous husband was in rare form on this day.  The first phase of the plan almost failed as we circled in the parking lot at SFO not finding ANY legal parking spots until a tiny Mini Cooper pulled out of its parking spot.  Not wanting to miss seeing Bryce, Joy got out and Brett carefully inched their SUV into a spot never designed to fit our car.  Then it was off to see if we could see Bryce and his team.  Success!  We effectively surprised him, after completing a 16 hour flight, he wasn't sure if he was hallucinating or whether we were real.  Then after saying goodbye, we were off to our next meeting, but we arrived an hour early, so we took advantage of the beautiful walking path along the San Francisco Bay.  Next we met up with Wendy and James for a fun few hours of golfing and eating and catching up.
