Our yearly offsite for team building this year was in Napa Valley, California. We enjoyed a nice long bus ride to Napa on a Thursday morning. The thing that made the ride any good wasn’t the crappy bus driver who was weaving in and out of lanes, but the fact that we had brought along our own mini bar to keep us sane. Thanks to Sean who was bartender for the day. More pictures later!

Looks like I get my racket pretty far back. Photo taken by my dad who was watching on the sidelines.

Jumping down the stairs of the Eiffel Tower, originally uploaded by patangay.

Picture taken by Gunjan during our Europe backpacking trip back in 2005. We took the elevator up, but decided to come down the stairs. The stairs were just long enough for me to jump the whole way. Man, were my legs tired after jumping about 10 flights of stairs. Probably not to good for my knees either.

The Top Gun Crew, originally uploaded by patangay.

These guys were all dressed up as Navy officers and they were pushing around an aircraft carrier carrying alcohol, a sound system (playing the Top Gun soundtrack of course) and a huge US flag.

The best part was, during the “great balls of fire” or “you’ve lost that lovin’ feeling” they would all pretend to be holding a microphone and sing (shout) it at the top of their lungs.

Is it just me or does Mike look like Gollum… please don’t kill me Mike!
