One Of The Most Incredible Days I Have Spent With E&A....

One of the most incredible days I have spent with E&A was last Saturday at the White Water River Rafting, Ropes course and camping trip. We started with the ropes course. I didn't mind climbing up a tree 40 feet and jumping to a trapeze with no net (yes, I was attached to a rope and harness), but for others it was a test in courage and one that placed huge smiles and wide eyes on their faces.  
The Center where we stayed also cooked a delicious lunch, all included in our special price. Grilled and marinated chicken, Pulled Pork, fresh veggies and hummus and we all fought over the extra grilled cheese with tomato and basil left for the vegetarians.  We were full but the best part of the day was still ahead: river rafting.
We had an incredible guides and two boats just for us on our 10 mile journey down the American River. The rapids got increasingly more fierce but no one fell out of the boat and we all took time to swim and do some cliff jumping too. By the time we got back we were all exhausted and ready for dinner.  Some stayed for a night of camping while others made the trek back home.  A perfect day and one I hope we will do again soon.

Viewing Fireworks From Several Cities Is Amazing.

Add to that, being on a beautiful boat with a friendly happy crew and you have Magic. We had enough time to relax at Pier 39 before we boarded - food, drinks, shops, people watching. That was fun. Then, it was time to hop on the boat, so exciting, we got to see it come motoring in to the pier from its previous journey. 
Most people had never had the chance to do this, I heard so many comments, like "I've lived here all my life and never seen a fireworks display from the water." and "This was so amazing, I loved it. I'm doing it next year!" And from a Seattle member that came to visit, "This is really beautiful, I've never seen this, and not too much fog.Wow!"  Everyone loved it. Some of the displays were sychronized, some were small, others at a distance seemed sparkly and almost like fire flies. We could see so much. The weather wasn't at SF's best, but it cleared up so that we had an incredible view of the fireworks. From the water, there was a chance to see the fireworks from three different cities, all at once! And, you could see the bridges - like a string of pearls, Alcatraz island was close enough to get a good view, so beautiful.... it was the best night. Events And Adventures San Francisco

I Love My Volleyball Family!


Volleyball is a staple every week, and every week I go, I am reminded of why I love this event. Volleyball is not just a group of people playing… It’s not even members anymore, it’s a family. The Volleyball Crew has become such an intricate part of E&A. Each week you see eachother, and play together, it makes it easy to become friends and get to know each other really well. Most of the best friends I have made in the club are from volleyball! So many relationships have been formed with volleyball being the reason. We have even had a few weddings that developed from our volleyball events! The bond that has been created over the years has really made this event was it is today. Lot’s of people, lots of fun, and lots of love. It’s true… I love my volleyball family.
