Last week, I was at ZendCon in San Francisco. This is a shot of the night club event that Yahoo! threw towards the end of the conference. I didn’t bring my camera, so, I have to bum off the conference photos.

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!

We had her perform during our lunch break, as part of our Music on the Green program, where every Wednesday throughout the summer we have a new musical guest come entertain us; while we sip our free mocha latte and eat the free dippin’ dots ice cream.

There was a pretty long line for the dippin’ dots.

If you didn’t care for country music, there were other things to do.

Lunch time golf lesson, anyone?

Don’t worry, we didn’t forget the kids!

You can even shop for dinner at the on campus farmer’s market.

Yea, I know what you are thinking. I don’t know how we get any work done either.
