Ducks Drive South for Football

On Thursday Morning, we packed up the mini-van and headed down south with Grandpa and Grandma for a road trip to visit family and cheer on the Ducks in Berkeley. No, we didn't buy a family van. It's my parent's extra vehicle.

Our little traveler

Ella did a great job with the 8+ hour drive.

Mount Shasta

Our first stop was Sacramento to visit our newest cousin, Jersey Lou. She was only 2 1/2 weeks old and just perfect. It was great to see her mommy and daddy too.

Lindsey is from Alaska and proudly displays her bear skin rug. Ella wasn't so sure of it at first...Little Baby, Big Bear!

Hanging by their awesome pool. We were lovin' the warm California sunshine!

It was a bit too bright for Baby Boo!

Jersey's Big Brother, Titan!

The Proud Daddies and their little ladies at the bar!

On Friday afternoon, we headed over to Antioch to visit our Fahje Family. Little Jaeger was so excited to have Ella visit.

Saturday Morning, we got up and headed to Berkeley to cheer on our #1 Ducks!

Berkeley is just across the bay from San Fransisco. The Golden Gate Bridge is off in the distant.

Catching some ZZZZs on the way to the game.

Navigating through Berkeley Game Day traffic!

We made it for some pre-game partying with Megan, Cooter, Josh and Uncle Jed.

Ella's first tattoo!

Tailgating at Cal means drinking a beer out of a paper bag while standing on a Frat house lawn. I think I saw more Oregon fans then Cal. The Duck fans made a good showing. Even Chad and Emily made it!

 I was a nervous wreck for a lot of this game!

Crazy Game...Glad We Won!

 I was 4 years old the first time I got my photo with the Duck, Ella was 9 months. She's one Lucky Duck!

 The view from our hotel room on the Marina. In the distance, is the Gold Gate Bridge.

Our final stop on the trip was to In-N-Out, along with the 900 other Oregon Fans. This photo also shows Ella's new scrunched up face. She's a silly little duck!
