We made our annual pilgrimage to San Jose a little early this year. Normally we go for Father’s day weekend as that is also around our son’s birthday. This year he had special plans for his birthday. Trish arranged for us to go to the Silicone Valley Duck race. We’ve been to the Ocean version at the Huntington Beach pier. This was lots different.

The event is three years old now. Last year they had sponsors for about three thousand ducks. This year it was fifteen thousand. That is a lot of ducks in a small stream.

We also had our Father’s day and birthday celebrations (observed.)
